Let me know when you've definitively found some, and not just because someone told you they did and it must be it. When you show me the actual matter, I'll have no choice but to concede that it exists.
I don’t give a rat’s ass what choice you think you have. You can think there is no oxygen because you can see it, and you can think there is a god because someone said god said there is a god.
Now go away, shove the Bible up your ass, and then take it out and lick it for some more words from god.
So still none? Got it. Well, your religion not mine then.

I hope this is a satisfactory source:

Unlike belief and knowledge, intelligence is not information: it is a process, or an innate capacity to use information in order to respond to ever-changing requirements. It is a capacity to acquire, adapt, modify, extend and use information in order to solve problems. Therefore, intelligence is the ability to cope with unpredictable circumstances. But intelligence is not merely analytical: to survive and flourish in society, we must also have social and emotional intelligence.

But then there is also this one:

There is no agreed-upon definition of the concept of intelligence neither in psychology nor in philosophy. Experts’ definitions differ widely.
[...]
the power of good responses from the point of view of truth or facts (Thorndike) — the ability to carry on abstract thinking (Terman) — having learned or ability to learn to adjust oneself to the environment (Colvin) — the capacity for knowledge (Henmon); the capacity to acquire capacity (Woodrow)

If you disagree with these guys, feel free to provide your own and let's go from there.
About dark matter... well... gravitational effects have been observed where no matter can be observed to produce them. So, if we can't see it, it's because it's dark.
Go outside, pick up some dirt, let the sun set in a moonless night and look at the dirt on your hand. That's dark matter. It produces no light for it to be observed.
In the case of cosmic dark matter, the thing is a bit more complicated, because it seems to emit no radiation at all, while your dirt will emit some IR from temperature, and some other spectroscopic emission lines from natural radioactive isotopes. Dark matter emits nothing of the sort, but is well masked within the background microwave emission.
Sounds convenient when you can know something is there without saying you actually observed it, but rather cite something that may or may not indicate it to try and prove it. To suggests it accounts for 85-95 percent of the matter in the universe is nothing but fantasy and sensationalism. But you know, it's an "excuse" why the original Big Bang prediction was a bust. Couldn't account for all the gaps, splits, pockets, etc... in CMB, so make up something to account for it that can't be disproven due to the inability to observe it directly. Not drinking the Kool-Aid on this one.
