Atheists and Scientists, what do you make of this article? [Spirituality & Religion]

As somebody trained as a scientist, the two things I take away are the existence of dark matter, once verified as not an experimental error, says something about the fundamental forces of nature. These fields aren't coupling to the electro-weak or strong sectors-- so we have new fields, new forces. This is the whole point of physics so that's exciting.

The other is that if this dark matter couples to the gravitational sector of our existing understanding of things, then what is that coupling, and if it couples all, then everything we pretend to know about the effects of the large scale structure of the universe is fucked.

As a religious person I have no idea what this has to do with religion. Reconciling faith with science and vice versa is just cowardice. It means we don't trust either our spiritual faculties or our scientific ones. Only the two playing well together.

We'll just have to wait and see what develops and if there was indeed a mistake in their calculations.

That's the great thing about science, it's ready to admit when it might be wrong and will move on to improve things.

That's an important part of the scientific process

I guess the more you know the less you know.
Why is this only for Atheists? George Lemaître first derived the what is now known as Hubble's law,as well as The Big Bang

Cosmology is total wild west, a new revolution every five years. But interesting.
