After Years of Effort, Dark Energy Still Puzzles Scientists - NYTimes.com

Physics-people are going crazy. Their observations of the stars are straining their worldview.

What they observe is "it looks like stars are racing away from us; and the farther they are; the faster they are going!"

Their conclusion: known matter in the universe is only a small percent of matter, some theoretical matter "dark matter" is causing reverse-gravity to expand the universe.

I propose a new worldview (it's not really my idea) that accounts for the Scriptures and the observations Physics-people can't explain: something crazy happened to slow speed of light in the past (and is perhaps still at work).

The reason we can see stars that look like they are dashing away from us is that the light from those stars has slowed down.

What caused this: Adam's sin affected all creation, causing it to have "bondage to decay" (see Romans 8, middle of chapter).

Adam could see the stars in the beginning, but now it takes millions of years for light to travel to earth from the stars. What happened? I think Romans 8 has the best clue.

This is dismissed by most contemporary scientists.

But why not consider it? None of us were around to take measurements in the distant past. But God was. He hasn't told us everything about the stars, but He has spoken to us in the Bible authoritatively. We can trust what He said.

The Bible doesn't say "the speed of light slowed down in the past". "Light slowed down" is just a theory within a Bible framework. There are good reasons for trusting the Bible. If God wrote the Bible AND God made the world; the Bible is an awesome tool for understanding our universe.
