Does Dark Matter give merit to the Bible?

“So, the other day I was watching a show about how the universe works on the science channel. They showed experiments where they tried to create a mock universe in a test lab using gravity. It ALWAYS failed. That is when they started talking about Dark Matter. Being the science geek that I am, I started paying close attention to this. As they explained, there is something ELSE other than gravity that is holding the universe together. It cannot be seen or measured, however, it IS there. They do not know what it is so they named it Dark Matter. Here's a definition:

---

Dark matter is a hypothetical kind of matter which cannot be seen with telescopes but accounts for most of the matter in the Universe.

---

The existence and properties of dark matter are inferred from its gravitational effects on visible matter, radiation and the large-scale structure of the cosmos. It has not been detected directly, making it one of the greatest mysteries in modern astrophysics.
So I kind of giggled when the show talked on and on about this "mysterious dark matter" that holds the universe together. Doesn't the bible talk about this?
Hebrews 11:3
By faith we understand that

---

the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.
Interesting… VERY INTERESTING”

A friend of myn posted this to me on FB as one of his arguments in favor of Christianity. Frankly, I find the whole concept of trying to creat a mock universe with conventional physics and logic stupid. Because we dont know how things were "before" the big bang or before existance itself and I feel even if we did we would have to recreate the conditions necessary to do such a thing successfully.

then again...im no physicist.

In previouse comments he tried pulling the whole,
"One needs only look at the wonders of the universe to know god exists."

Whats your thoughts on the matter?

Because dark matter is undetectable (invisible) it is equivalent to the word of god (also invisible) which gives structure and substance to the universe.

Then they are both the same as the odor given off by bad poetry (also invisible).

If God wants to tell us something, why didn't She just leave us a blue-ray in a stasis box along with those old Essene scrolls?
