Invisible mass that exists to take up space and create gravity and the framework of galaxies...unless of course our math is wrong  ), well how is that any better than some of the stories in the bible trying to explain how humanity got to where it is today?
Nope, as far as I can see, it's really just whatever ridiculous explanation you're most comfortable with because nobody really has the answer; and if they tell you they do, they're selling you something.
Me, I will go on being uncomfortable with not knowing. |
This is a brutal false equivalence.
Reminds me of some "scientist" in "the secret" video (you know - rhonda byrne BS) who says something along the lines of "do you know how electricity works? I sure don't, therefore nobody does - therefore it's the secret!"
