Dark matter is not "nothing" as you called it, just because we don't fully understand it doesn't make it not there.

LOL . "god" matter works in mysterious ways , who can know them?
|
You realize people were saying the same thing about antimatter until it was isolated. Dark matter isn't a matter of faith brought upon by tradition and indoctrination, it was a conclusion that was came to through the product of physics research.

In another words people believe in dark matter because of the tradition and indoctrination of the Big Bang Theory. Thus they believe something without direct evidence yet still have sound reason to believe in it's existance more than unicorns and vampires.

Please, this response shows you have really no idea what you are talking about at all. There is no indoctrination with the big bang, people aren't told to simply believe something without question, the big bang is taught but that is not the same as indoctrination. The difference is that the science is explained and that it follows the scientific method of (wikipedia'd)
- Define the question
- Gather information and resources (observe)
- Form hypothesis
- Perform experiment and collect data
- Analyze data
- Interpret data and draw conclusions that serve as a starting point for new hypothesis
- Publish results
- Retest (frequently done by other scientists)
It's not just the big bang exists, believe it, if you don't you're wrong. There are plenty of books out there and people doing lectures on the information surrounding the big bang (because there is a wealth of information about the event that is growing constantly.) To make the statement that science is forcing upon people as a dogma is ludicrous to the point of self-mockery. Secondly people don't believe in dark matter because they believe in the big bang, dark matters existence is inferred because of gravitational effects on visible matter and background radiation that could not be caused by the matter we can detect. Or in other words we see the effect but not the cause but must assume that the cause exists due to the observance of an effect. It's like if we saw a bright light but couldn't see where it was coming from, we know something is creating it because we see the light, just because we don't have the tools to penetrate the light and observe the source does not mean it does not exist.
Here's a little podcast talking about dark matter http://www.scientificamerican.com/podcast/episode.cfm?id=000DD7DD-B1DF-14FD-B1DF83414B7F00FF
It's a lot less blind faith and a lot more solid physics than you seem to think, yes we have not isolated and directly observed dark matter. But we know it exists because of mass and gravitational measurements, unless of course you can provide a different solution to the problem of this mysterious amount of gravity and mass that appears out of nowhere.
