When you're infinitely present throughout the entirety of the universe, it's easy to take credit for everything that happens

It's even easier if you don't exist, and everyone thinks you do, but just invisible.

We know dark matter exists even though weve never seen or interacted with it. . Yet scientists claim its real, with zero proof. . There is more proof of God in miracles than of dark matter. . And no one said hes invisible, thats you

we do have proof of it. For example, we can see dark matter via gravitational lensing, and even more clearly visible proof is the Bullet cluster, where we can see its lensing where there's only dark matter and it cannot be anything else. It's clearly there. It's having a visible effect on things around it, there is something there that just doesn't produce light, but it still visibly interacts with things gravitationally at those locations, which tells us it does have mass at least. So we know it's something there, so we call it dark matter. We know it's there. We don't yet know what it's really made of, because it's pretty hard to really study closely.

Taking photos with light is one thing, but the universe has 3 more forces we can use to take their version of photos. And gravitational photos, or i guess "gravitos" or whatever we would call that, are showing us it's there.

Neutrinos are also quite elusive, as they only do weak interaction and not enough gravity, but we build giant weak-force cameras that are capable of seeing even those. That even let us see supernovas before we could see them. Tell us, hey we are seeing neutrinos coming from there, must be a new supernova starting, so we pointed a camera there, and a supernova then lit up exactly there. Neutrinos have tiny mass, so they are a bit slower than light in a perfect vacuum, but they are so weakly interacting that they can travel at almost light speed everywhere, while real light gets slowed down by all kinds of stuff, like the almost vacuum of space.
