I get why you're dismissive of the analogy, but people who can't see what you term to be objective physical evidence of dark matter can reasonably doubt or even reject its existence entirely, particularly if all they have to go on is your word for it—not at all unlike your view of the existence of god.

Sure - You are correct that there is personality type to whom everything but their own personal experience holds no weight. Living in a high tech world were you can't directly experience or personally 'prove' most of what is going on around you has to be a real bitch for them. Joe Rogan comes to mind. 

Maybe I'm not being fair, I've been steeped in a scientific method culture pretty much since I could walk. Since I can only go by myself - I don't know anyone else's thought processes but my own,  I don't know how fair it is to evaluate other people's capabilties to to think about and evaluate facts, evidence, reality.
