How are Dark Mtter and Consciousness different from Spirit?

[ApeNotKillApe]

The spirit is a superstitious explanation of consciousness, which we now know to be a process of the brain, the soul has no basis in reality. 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?

Galaxies require large amounts of matter in a cluster to generate the gravitational force that is needed to hold them together; by observing their light, it was found that galaxies contained far less visible matter than was necessary to keep them from drifting apart, meaning there was an unseen form of matter that generated gravity but didn't emit light - dark matter. We can't observe dark matter directly, but we can observe its effects.

Meanwhile, generations of ancient primitives generated the idea of the spirit as early attempts to understand the nature of consciousness, their ideas have been refuted. The end.
