Experiments can be devised to test for the presence and influence of dark matter (and dark energy). Tell me of an experiment to do the same for a god.
Incidentally, for the record: I happen to be one of those people who find the dark matter hypothesis unsatisfying. It strikes me as far too conveniently ad hoc. However, I am willing to listen to the evidence from those far more knowledgable of the subject than I will ever be.
I wonder if gravity works differently at the very very large scale, like things are different at the quantum level?
There's a theory for that: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modified_...n_dynamics
Others are also working on unified theories to reconcile quantum theory and relativity:
