Via the Bad Astronomer I read this absurd post from a blogger called Vox who seems to think that dark matter and dark energy are outside the scope of science which means that secular societies are "arguably insane". Of course, Vox's argument is unarguably retarded. He's saying that because we don't know exactly what dark matter and dark energy are, they're outside the realm of science. But that's obviously false: it's only through science that we even know that dark matter and dark energy exist. There is nothing in the bible about the universe being 72.1% dark energy and 23.3% dark matter. Nor does it say on which day God created them. They don't exist, according to the nomadic goat herders who wrote the bibble. Furthermore, if we are ever to understand dark matter and dark energy, that will only happen through the process of science, not by assuming it's too complex and so Goddidit. Vox's silly argument is just another lame Science Doesn't Know Everything appeal.
I did post a comment on Saturday, asking the assembled loons who support the blog's author, what other method they would use to try to understand dark matter and dark energy. Unsurprisingly they had no reply.
