We have gravitational lensing, but that cannot save DM from other observations fundamentally incompatible with its premise.

Clinging to a single dominant theory is religious orthodoxy, not science. The essence of science is, "we don't pretend to know what we don't". There is plenty we do, that doesn't depend on DM.

Also, the research done regarding weakly interacting massive particles has been very interesting to follow the past couple of years
