“Why do scientists continue to believe dark matter when there is no proof of it’s existence. Clinging to the big bang theory demands it, that’s why”

I don’t think you understand what Dark matter is. It has nothing much to do with the Big Bang.

It also has a rather simple but boring explanation that is looking more and more to be true.

There are four forces: gravity, electromagnetism, strong force, weak force.

* Matter interacts with all four
* Energy (photons) interact with all but the strong force
* Neutrinos interact with only gravity and the weak force
* Dark matter interacts with only gravity

Dark matter is just the soup of particles floating in the universe that have a very limited path to interacting with everything else.

Interesting explanation; thanks for laying it out.

But that then begs the question ‘What does dark energy interact with?’ Nuthin?
