Why or what is it that makes you or leads or led you to believe that a God does not exist...?

Do you think dark matter is the same as the god in the bible?

In order to answer that question, I'd need a subjective definition of the term "god in the bible" to work with. Dad and I seem to "interpret" that particular book quite differently, and I'd assume that you and I wouldn't interpret it the same either.

The empirical difference between any ordinary *supernatural* (and my definition is empirical) definition of the term 'God', and the term "dark matter", is that we've already spent *billions* of public dollars in search of exotic stable forms of "dark matter", and to date we've falsified very "popular" mathematical model presented.

I've yet to see such an exhaustive empirical search for "God" using public funding.

Compared to the term "God" as defined empirically as in Pantheism/Panentheism, "dark matter" is an empirical disaster in the lab.

FYI, the more important aspect of the whole exotic "dark matter" debate is premised upon the mainstream astronomer's claims that they could or even now can accurately measure all the baryonic mass in distant galaxies. That premise has been falsified at least a half dozen different ways over the past decade alone. The mainstream doesn't even care. In their case, dogma trumps empirical physics and empirical data.

Once more Michael has highjacked and derailed a thread by forcing his pseudoscientific EU beliefs.
He has ruined many a threads and I for one will totally ignore him.
Now how about we get back to the OP.

You are forced to ignore my argument because it exposes your personal hypocrisy. You use two completely different standards of the term "evidence", one for any hypothetical branch of "science" (non empirical), and a completely different one (purely empirical presumably) as it relates to the topic of God. That's why you are forced to ignore the argument.

Your dark matter god particle is more impotent on Earth than an average "supernatural" definition of the term "God", and there's less "evidence" to support 'dark matter" than there is to support the topic of God, particularly if we are using a *non empirical* standard of evidence.

There is no empirical "cause/effect" justification for any of your claims about exotic matter or energy. They are completely circular arguments based on a special pleading fallacy.

So, DM = God?
