DAVID: Dark matter is a theory based on Newtonian physics, and it may not exist:

You have also posted an article defending inflationary theory on which you comment: “Inflation is still the best bet as a stage that briefly followed the Big Bang, but it is one theory following another one. they are not connected except by time. No cause for either theory is known, but there must be a cause. I choose God.”

Dark matter, inflationary theory, the big bang, string theory, multiverses and God are all theories based on this, that and the other, and none of them may be true. Like everyone else, I am groping in the dark, but I think it is admirable that we all go on doing so, although I do wish the more dogmatic theorists – scientific, philosophical, theistic and atheistic – would humbly acknowledge that their main support is a white stick.
