The Jesus Particle

The Bible says this about Jesus:

"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation, for in him all things in heaven and on earth were created, things visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or powers—all things have been created through him and for him. He himself is before all things, and in him all things hold together."

Colossians 1:15-17

"... but in these last days he has spoken to us by a Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom he also created the worlds. He is the reflection of God’s glory and the exact imprint of God’s very being, and he sustains all things by his powerful word."

Hebrews 1:2-3

(Emphasis mine) 

Jesus is the bridge between the invisible, immaterial God and the visible, material world. The universe was created through Him and he sustains all things by His power.  He is the connecting fiber that ties the two realms together.

NASA says this about Dark Matter

"Stars rotate around the center of a galaxy, a little like planets around a star. Astronomers first noticed in the 1930s that some clusters of galaxies were spinning faster than they should be – if they contained only the stars, gas, dust and other material that we can see. There must be something else, something we can’t see, that adds gravity and acts like a glue so that the galaxies can spin so fast without flying apart. That something is dark matter.   

[...]

In other words, something must hold our solar system, galaxies and clusters of galaxies together. Dark matter is that invisible glue that keeps stars, dust, and gas together in a galaxy . This mysterious substance makes up the majority of a galaxy's mass and forms the foundation of our Universe's structure."

(Emphasis mine)

The Bible tells us that Jesus holds all things together, and physicists tell us that there is an invisible force that permeates the universe holding things together.  The parallels are striking.

So far, all attempts to figure out exactly what dark matter is have failed.  Perhaps that's because they are looking for a material substance when it is actually an immaterial force that holds things in place.

Perhaps, scientists are really looking for Jesus.
