Top 10 Unsolved Space Mysteries

Joe Jordan writes "Space.com is advertising the Top 10 Space Mysteries for 2003, and perhaps for all time, given the current rate of discovery." Some of them are obvious, like the origin of life, and the possibility of alien life forms, but the list is still a good compilation of space's greatest questions.

All right then.

You're an idiot, you're not at all funny or original, and it's sad that some moderator as stupid as you will soon come along and give your post a "Funny" rating.

Dark Energy

[young-earth]

It's very simple to explain... as the article says

While gravity holds things together at the local level (and by local I mean within galaxies and even between them, forming galactic clusters) some unknown force is working behind the scenes and across the universe to pull everything apart. Scientists have only come to realize this dark force in recent years, by discovering that the universe is expanding at an ever-increasing pace.

But the origin of that causative agent of the acceleration is obvious if you look:

Job 9:8 "[God] stretches out the heavens"

Psalm 104:2"stretching out heaven like a tent curtain"

Isaiah 40:22"He ... stretches out the heavens like a curtain and spreads them out like a tent"

Isaiah 42:5 "Thus says God the Lord, who created the heavens and stretched them out"

Isaiah 44:24"I, the Lord, am the maker of all things, stretching out the heavens by Myself."

Isaiah 45:12"It is I who made the earth and created man upon it. I stretched out the heavens with My hands"

Isaiah 48:13"Surely My hand founded the earth and My right hand spread out the heavens."

Isaiah 51:13"the Lord your Maker, Who stretched out the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth"

Jer 10:12 "He has stretched out the heavens"

Jer 51:15 "He stretched out the heavens"

Zech 12:1 "the Lord who stretches out the heavens"
