How are Dark Mtter and Consciousness different from Spirit?

[Rhondazvous]

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.

There you go!
The use of spirit as an explanation is basically and end of discourse. What I’m looking for is further discussion.

As CD said, dark matter is just one explanation for what we are observing. One other that occurs to me right now is, the deficiency of matter may explain our observation that the universe is expanding. What we see as the galaxies being held together is really just a blink of the eye in the vast eons of the universe. So there may indeed be enough matter for that blink.
