Hebrews 11:3

 By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.

Could the things not seen be dark energy/matter (the spiritual realm) and that which are visible be "regular" matter/energy (the physical)? 

Which spirit realm? Satan is the prince of darkness and those who are under his control are in spiritual darkness. However, God is light and in Him there is no darkness. And we who are sons of light are not in darkness. (1 Thess. 5: 5)

Dark matter can go by various different names. The point is, it can't be seen.

As I said, `Which spiritual realm?`

The one where God and the angels are located. Where Satan was originally.  

Nevertheless, what do you think that verse means?

Thank you for asking PraiseHim,

 

`By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.` (Heb. 11: 3)

`For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.` (Col. 1: 16)

`God is Spirit...` (John 4: 24)

Thus, we realise that it is by God`s Spirit that everything was created - visible and invisible.

"The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it,
but do not know where it comes from and where it is going;
so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

Just had this thought that it matters not whether in light or darkness.
We can not see the wind. Only the effects. Like God's spirit.

I never heard of dark energy/matter.

Thanks Marilyn and PraiseHim1004....

The passage tells us that which is visible was made by word of God (which is not visible). I don't think this refers to dark energy nor dark matter. However, we might find a reference to dark energy and dark matter in the following:

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation: for by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or dominions, or rulers, or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him. (Colossians 1:15-16 NASB)

Dark matter is invisible at this time, though it is tangible with regard to how it influences the visible universe. Gravity is a similarly invisible force, though it is tangible with regard to how it affects matter and energy. 

While light has always been visible to us, photons themselves were invisible until a specialized camera at M.I.T. captured photons moving through a bottle of water. Their camera captured the speed of light (that's how fast photons travel) at two-trillionths of second. 

I'm not of the opinion that dark matter nor dark energy represent anything spiritual. These are forces and constituent elements of the universe that the Lord has made. 

In 2022, astrophysicists captured the first image of a black hole: the super-massive black hole at the center of our galaxy. A black hole is not visible but the accretion disc surrounding it is indeed visible. The accretion disc is matter and energy being drawn into the event horizon of the singularity. In the past, black holes were thought of as destroyers, something which nothing --- not even light --- can escape. However, observations over the past decade have thrown what men believe into disarray.

Black holes appear to be involved with the formation of new stars. This is why I suspect that the black hole is a dark matter star.

I agree with this. Dark matter is just a fanciful name scientists came up with to describe it, so I don't think there's anything inherently spiritual to it. That said there's certainly reason to see and admire the power, precision, and artistry of God in the way this universe works.
