To clarify a previous post , I am going to include quotes from some website, somewhere out there in the cyber sphere***:
"Dark matter and dark energy appear to be competing forces in our universe. The only things they have in common is that both were forged in the Big Bang...
Dark matter attracts, dark energy repels. While dark matter pulls matter inward, dark energy pushes it outward."
IF dark energy repels matter, how could it ALL be contained within the matter (singularity?) prior to the Big Bang ?
Yes, it all might be speculation, however, if nobody ask's the questions, then nobody would look for the answers.
What would be wrong with a large number of multiple locations coalescing into matter. Perhaps galaxies originated that way.
Nothing. Perhaps the galaxies, and a lot of the other stuff, did originate that way. And maybe the scientists will be surprised again. However, they have the resources and the mind power to make a way better guess than I do. So, if they proclaim that there was a "Big Bang", definitely have to give that serious consideration. IF they say there is dark matter and dark energy, also have to give that serious consideration, too.
Dark matter and dark energy isn't necessarily a new concept either, just recently made up to account for missing mass in our Universe. To quote Scripture from KJV( Genesis 1:2 - 1:3 ) :
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
Darkness was upon the deep ? ...Face of the waters ? Earth was without form, and void, so what were the scribe(s) referring to in these remarks ?
