Why are some so stupid to believe there's such a thing as dark matter, it can't be seen, touched, smelled, heard or tasted, yet you insist it's there, matter that does not conform to what matter is, and you call Christians idiotic.

We can't directly see the supermassive black hole at the center of the milky way, but we nonetheless know that there must be an enormous unseen mass there because of it's effect on nearby stars.
Inference. Look it up.
The same goes for dark matter. We can't see it, we don't yet know what it is, but unless everything we know about gravity and relativity is wrong, there is *something*, a whole lot of something that we can't see.
