  1. Scientific community acceptance? on 48% of Americans Reject Evolution · · Score: 1

    The article itself says absolutely nothing about opinions on acceptance 'within the scientific community'! That was, apparently, the poster's desire to paint evangelicals in the worst possible light.

    The truth is that most evangelicals simply believe what their pastors tell them about creation but almost all would be aware this is not supported by mainstream science.

    A small minority carefully track the science of creation/evolution and choose to believe that the Flood really could create the fossil record and that the evidence of helium diffusion (presented at a mainstream geology conference) explains the dating problem.

  2. Re:I still want to know.... on The Search for Dark Matter and Dark Energy · · Score: 1

    Well, if perfectly dark it has no color of course but one interesting type of dark matter proposed is mirror matter. If it exists it is an exact copy of our particle types except invisible (would have colors seen by people made out of mirror matter) or nearly invisible (would have dim colors due to 'mixing' of our photom with the mirror photon) to us. Mirror matter explains some experiments and astrophysics better than many dark matter models. Not to be confused wtih antimatter.
