    Look, dark matter is to (astro) physicists what a god is to those who are religious.

    If that were really so, then religion wouldn't be a big deal. One doesn't make fancy buildings and gather once a week in them just to make sure dark matter is happy. It's be more like "I don't know why my car goes. Must be God. Hmmm, I wonder if I can go faster, if I put more God in it?"

    God exist for the scared: they attend church because they want something from God or they fear God will do something to them if they don't.

    The unknown frightens them and God is the hedge in their bet.

      Doesn't sound even remotely how dark matter is treated which is my point. If we were treating God like we were treating dark matter, then someone would be figuring out how to get more God into the combustion chamber for better performance.

          I think the better example is epicycles. It's adjustments of theories that we know should have a better explanation.
