The Law of Reality: There Are No Supernatural Forces in Nature
Science Posits a Possible New Force of Nature, But It Isn’t Magic!!
How many forces of nature are there? If you Google this, the answer is four: the strong and weak nuclear forces, electromagnetism, and gravity.
But, these four forces do not explain some observed phenomena in our universe — one of which is that the expansion of the universe is accelerating.
Now, think about this. The expansion of the universe is accelerating. That’s pretty heavy stuff. In any other explosion where there’s a bang, the particles follow a projectile path, and the explosion dissipates over time until it is spent. That is NOT what is happening in our universe!! The expansion is actually accelerating, which means energy is being added somehow.
So, science is currently unable to explain this.
Religion wants to jump in here to say God is doing it, or there’s a mysterious supernatural force at play here. Others might simply say its magic. Well, none of these explanations will suffice.
