How about these two

1) 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

2) Why do scientist continue to believe in dark energy when there is no proof of it’s existence? See above.

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.
