A Different Creation Model

Why does anybody suggest anything? I'm glad that science proposes things that sound outlandish, and then go out and try and prove it. I'm not in a position to prove anything but that shouldn't stop me from presenting ideas and seeing what other people think. Isn't that kinda the point of this forum? Please explain further. I understand the 4% to be that which we are able to perceive by our 5 senses.

Thanks Phat. I see the Bible as only one place where we can learn about God, but that we are can also learn about good from other people, creation itself and our own perceptions. In the end it is about belief, faith and how we view our role in this world.In the OP I do see an argument that could be made about how God might have created and might connect with our world. However, even if it is correct it would not rule out an atheistic answer. It would however answer some questions about basic theism.

Thanks for that. With the dawn of modern science the world keeps sounder stranger and stranger. I often wonder if animals don't have a sense or senses that we know absolutely nothing about. Right off topic is the fact that it is heartbreaking the way our animals are abused and particularly the ones that are destined for our dinner tables.

Well ok, but without actual knowledge about how things work and the ability to think in ways that grounded in that knowledge what you have is just science fantasy. It makes for good fiction but it's not science. The knowledge that there's an enormous gap in our understanding of matter and energy doesn't allow us to fill that gap with just anything at all. It must start with what we know. We can only percieve a tiny fraction fraction of the universe with our own senses. Surely that's obvious? Our senses are localised pretty much to this planet and close astral neighours. And even here we are extremely limited. We can't see the very small or the very distant, we can only see a small part of the radio spectrum - no UV no infra red, no gamma, no x-rays. We can't hear outside a small range and our other senses are extremely localised.Our knowledge of the universe is not directly from our senses it's from our intelligent brain which we use to design instruments to make up for our lack of them and to calculate models that we can eventually test. We're no longer even capable of calculating the models ourselves - we have to use machines to do it for us. Our reach into knowledge about the universe is extended almost totally artificially.Our explanations of what we find are intangible - they exist only in our brains. The 96% of missing dark matter and energy is not something anyone can ever sense, it's a mathematical calculation based on how we've modelled the forces we think are making it work. We'll work out what it is in a while, but it won't change anything in our lives, we'll just know a bit more about how stuff works.Just for completeness, whatever it is, it won't be god :-)

As others have noted (sort of) we don't sense anything like 4% of the universe with our 5 senses. It might be more like 0.00000000000000004% (actually probably a lot lower). Most of the "normal" matter of the universe is way, way to far away to "see". We can "see" maybe 3 galaxies of the 100's of billions that are there.For all the rest we use instruments of many sorts.
