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.
The 25% dark matter is already taken into account in the equations of cosmic expansion in most calculations, leaving it out would not only not provide an explanation for the expansion, it would also give you the wrong numbers for it.
Quote: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.

I don't understand what you mean - you would literally have to believe that there is no cosmic history and everything was created just now as it is including the light from the far past coming towards us looking as if all that history had played out, because without dark matter or an alternative, there is not enough gravity and galaxies and galaxy clusters would have all been torn apart by their rotation within several millions of years.

But there are enough independed lines of evidence for dark matter now anyways.They just should have called it differently. If it were called "Non-Baryonic pressureless component" or something similarly boring, people at least wouldn't think that it must be something terribly mysterious all the time. Imagine the press had called the Higgs Boson the God Particle or something stupid like that, we wouldn't hear the end if it! ... oh wait...
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
