Dark matter is an observed phenomenon that can be explain by the existence of an additional, unknown kind of matter. I don't think scientists are unduly hung up on that explanation, though. It's merely the most likely. Plenty of scientists are looking for alternative explanations and I'm sure the rest will get on board if they find something convincing.
