dismissing the data. What the downturn in the Hubble relation might mean in a creationary cosmology/cosmogony model must await the development of such a model. At the very least, recent creationists ought to acknowledge the reality of the downturn in the Hubble relation at great distance, while making it clear why they don’t agree with the interpretation of the downturn within the big bang model. Even better, as with the evidence for dark matter, recent creationists must seriously engage with the evidence usually interpreted as indicating dark energy in the universe and interpret it on their own terms. Science progresses only when we change and develop our models as new data are found. Rather than ignoring or denying the data that are invoked in support of dark matter and dark energy, recent creationists must produce their own models to interpret this data. Only through this difficult process can significant progress be made in achieving a robust, truly biblical cosmology/cosmogony. REFERENCES Anonymous. No date. Shining a light on dark matter.
