If he told you that then he ain't much of a scientist.
I'll tell him you said so. He could use the chuckle.

At least it is good to know you are an expert.
It was my phrase. Sorry you don't like it.

If aliens are out there, why haven't we found them yet (fermi paradox)?
Nobody on earth could know, there are trillions of unique events that led to the universe being as it is now.
I believe that Earth was a fluke, a unique chain of events.
Dark matter is an invention. It has never been observed. The observed behavior of the universe is not understood. It might be dark matter or it might not be. Dark matter is a suggestion to help explain why the universe behaves as it does.
No what is known to exist is the fact that the universe expands at an increasing rate. It might be dark matter. It might not be. Dark matter is not known to exist. I've discussed this with a friend who is a PHD professor of physics at a large university. He, for one, doesn't buy it. He suggests that some physicists use it a way to avoid saying we don't know. But, according to him, we just don't know. It is long road from theory to law.
Or more accurately, the laws of physics are incomplete or even wrong. There is no such thing as infinity.
