>...models of the big bang that have been confirmed by experiment ... to put it mildly, it is a very overreaching statement. >Second, dark matter doesn't seem to behave the same way that baryonic matter behaves (normal matter clumps, dark matter doesn't appear to do so). double whammy - we couldn't observe dark matter and we couldn't observe its clumps. Or consider it another way - while it supposedly have gravitational attraction, and have no other strong interactions known, we somehow should suppose that its non-clumping, ie. gaseous/cloudy/spread-around state is still a normal thing.
