<Physicists acknowledge the existence of Dark Matter in the Quantum Realm>

This is an all-too-common type of misrepresentation - physicists measure Dark Matter as a factual deviation. It has been measured for a long time - actually since the 1920's - all other explanations had been ruled out and it is in no way God-like or mysterious - it is more like an undiscovered island. The name "Dark" means it simply doesn't interact with matter through anything other than gravitation forces. Undiscovered islands don't have properties that defy science - they have properties that haven't been observed yet. But we can forecast that they will be made of rocks and dirt and not fairy dust.

I will grant you there is a palliative aspect for people of faith - I personally would like to think that my dead mother is somewhere contributing to the universe in some way other than my memory of her. But my desire is not material for you or me. Nor will I offer it as any sort of truth.

Let me be clear - your personal belief is your inalienable right - but public profession of a faith-based point of view is subject to fact checking for BS. For those of us who don't have belief - it appears to be an impediment to accepting facts and is wishing that things are different than they really are. To me - it is insulting to issue "thoughts and prayers" for someone shot by a device invented by humans and purchased from manufacturers. There is nothing divine in the execution of another human being.
