However, a person who recognizes God as the Creator of the heavens and the earth has an abundance of further fascinating details to discover and intriguing mysteries to probe. We have raised our eyes high up in these few pages, and what we have seen is the 'something missing' that has eluded the cosmologists. We have also located the fundamental answers to those recurring questions that have nagged the mind of man throughout the ages. The Andromeda galaxy, like all spiral galaxies, rotates majestically in space as if it were a giant hurricane. Astronomers can calculate the rate of rotation for many galaxies from the light spectra, and when they do, they discover something puzzling.
All spiral galaxies seem to rotate too fast.
They behave as if the visible stars of the galaxy were embedded in a much larger halo of dark matter, invisible to the telescope. Cosmologists estimate that 90 percent of the missing mass is unaccounted for. They are frantic to find it, either in the form of massive neutrinos or some unknown but superabundant type of matter. The answers have always been there, but like the religionists of Jesus' day, many people have blinded their eyes, shut their ears, and hardened their hearts to answers that did not match their human theories or their chosen life-style. Jehovah has told us where the universe came from, how the earth got here, and who will live on it.
