Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
(Hebrews 11:1) KJV
After repeated failures to detect dark matter whoever comes up with an explanation of why we can’t detect it, which enhances the popular science narrative of godless existence (SciPop), will get a Nobel Prize.

Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
(1 Corinthians 3:18) NKJV
Before you choke with indignation about our stupidity because we’re apparently unaware that there are photographs of a black hole, let’s bring up the issue of epistemology. What is knowledge?

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
(Isaiah 5:20) NKJV
All current cosmological models show that somewhere between %80-85 of the mass of the universe is missing. Based on our understanding of particle physics we can move this number up to %90. Where is it?

There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
(1 Corinthians 15:40-41) KJV
Based on our first Principle, God Can’t Lie and the Bible is True, it must be possible to use the Bible to deduce an accurate model of the cosmos. We’re not talking about the Star Trek universe of the popular science paradigm (SciPop).

For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.
(Romans 1:20) NLT

When he established the heavens, I was there;
(Proverbs 8:27) English Standard Version
when he drew a circle on the face of the deep,
In a similar manner to that in which God said: Let there be light, the light was a reaction to nuclear fusion; when God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, it was a reaction to the creation of of gravity.

He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.
(Job 28:3) KJV
There are some eyebrow-raising translations of this verse which have been rendered by people who were trying very hard to make sense out of it. Here’s an example:

(Job 28:3) Good News Translation
They search the depths of the earth And dig for rocks in the darkness.
The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
(Psalms 12:6-7) KJV
People who believe the Bible also believe that there are right Bibles and wrong Bibles. The reasons for why are so complicated that a recent attempt to “shed light” on the issue may be the worst book ever written. It’s on a par with the poetry of Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings.

And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
(Genesis 1:6-8) KJV
One of our favorite ways to study the Bible is to follow a doctrine through from the first time it’s mentioned to the last. This is a great way to develop understanding of the doctrine in the broad narrative of scripture.
