Thats a strawman, sure if you show that X doesn't excist then it xant be an explanation for anything.

Do you agree with the point i made ?

You didn't make a point. You made the claim. And to repeat, I do not agree that is all you are saying.
So a thing that may or may not exist is something you can't say could be an explanation for something.
IMO, "making sense" goes out the window when we assume any gods at all.
Why would that make the belief system false, though?
What about the world around us suggests to you that it's the product of exactly one mind?

That is just atheist nonse.
You dont know if dark matter excist or not but I am sure you considered it within the pool of possible explanations for the additional gravity that has been detected in galaxies
Do you understand that "dark matter" is just a placeholder term that means "whatever this mass that we've detected is"?
FFS. If you want me take you seriously, stop arguing things that make it clear that you don't know what you're talking about.
"How do you know that undiscovered land mass is Terra Incongita and not some other country? What if that undiscovered country isn't Terra Incognita? You don't have the evidence to exclude that possibility!"

The claim to which I've replied two or three times. You're getting tedious.

Dark Matter is “something” that produces a gravitational effect and that doesn’t interacts with the electromagnetic spectrum and it is not any known type of baryonic matter.

The point that I am making is that you don’t have to establish the existence of Dark Matter (as defined above) in order to considerer it within your pool of possible explanations for the “extra gravity” that galaxies have.
Do you agree with this point? Yes or No? ………….. who is ready for 100 comments where you make irrelevant claims and avoid a direct YES or No answer?

Translation, you don’t even know what you’re talking about……………..you are just avoiding my point because you agree with it, but you don’t want to admit it “(my point being that you don’t have to show that X exists in order to consider it

Asked and answered. As I said, asking me the same question over and over again with different phrasing is not going to get you a different answer.
So you're considering multiple gods, then?

No idea why is the question relevant but yes I consider multiple gods within the pool of possible explanations in the same way I consider" multiple asteroids " (rather than one) as the cause for the exintion of dinosaurs ...... but Occams Razor says that i should go for the "one" hypothesis

Let me put it this way: do you think that Occam's Razor suggests that all unsolved crimes were commited by one individual super-criminal? After all, there are fewer "entities" that way.
It violates Occam’s Razor to assert a whole new class of thing (e.g. an omnipotent god or an international super-criminal) when it isn't necessary.

That is not what he said.
You asked him about multiple gods, and he said that 'one' is a better explanation [ occams razor]
