Scientists discover the Scaffolding of God, which binds the universe together with dark matter

Elusive dark matter observed by gravitational lensing.

Scientists have captured the first-ever image of dark matter which reveals dark matter forms a scaffold structure across the universe. What in its wisdom, created a scaffold for the galaxies themselves?

LOS ANGELES, CA (California Network) -- Scientists have captured an image of a dark matter bridge, a long filament of mysterious material believed to hold the entire universe together.

Dark matter is an elusive substance, thought to make up 84 percent of the universe. However, it is impossible to see and virtually impossible to detect because it does not reflect or absorb light. Its existence is inferred because of its gravitational effect.

The universe we can see does not contain enough mass to hold itself together. Scientists have known this for a long time. They concluded there must be more mass and matter in the universe than we can detect. They called this mass "dark matter."

Without dark matter galaxies themselves would fly apart, scattering their stars across the universe.

Today, scientists think dark matter may form a scaffolding that holds galaxies and the universe together. It can be found in long, thin filaments between galaxies. If true, then it should be possible for scientists to detect dark matter by looking for its effect on light. They have now succeeded in this quest.

Astronomers from the University of Waterloo have been able to photograph the effect of gravitational lensing around one such filament. Gravitational lensing is a phenomenon where large structures with a lot of gravity, bend and amplify light allowing astronomers to see objects they might not otherwise detect.

Much of the work is still within the realm of theory, and will require more research to confirm.

If this is true however, if the universe is held together by a scaffolding of dark matter, could this be evidence of creation? It certainly is. Indeed, if the universe is created, then all existence is evidence of creation.

Most scientists see the universe only through the lens of natural forces, and thus rarely consider the effect of supernatural effects on the universe. Creationists argue that the universe is governed by natural laws, established by the Creator.

For those of faith, the answer is clear. For the rest, their searches will lead to one final place, the same place where those of faith are today.
