Dark matter is a hypothesis to explain the lack of observable mass in the universe, we don't know what dark matter is, but we know 80% of the universe is composed of something unobservable, it's simply a matter of figuring out how it can be observed. Higgs Boson was a hypothesis, with as much basis in science as dark matter, it took a lot of work, but it was eventually confirmed. With science.
No one has ever demonstrated evidence for the existence of the soul, not through observation or postulation based on a credible hypothesis; this is because the idea is vague and unfalsifiable, no one has ever even defined what a soul is on paper, whereas people have formed credible ideas on what dark matter might be.
I’m not saying you’re wrong, but I want you to think more deeply about how you explain this.

If no one can observe dark matter or say what it is how is that different from spirit? Everybody thinks the evidence they present to support their ideas is credible. I want you to show me why yours is. It’s not hard. Is the word “postulation” a clue?
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.
