...science is desperate to assert its' authority and is not above using the christian analysis of the nature of reality to characterize its' position. Whether they believe in evolution or not, the church still believes in a materialistic world where everything is physical and subject to the 'rules of physics'.

Now, "I'm no scientist, but...", it seems to me they are searching for an explanation of why, when observed under a microscope, physical objects appear to be nothing more than 'particles' floating in space. Dark Matter would be more of these, still unseen particles, that make the object solid...and subject to the accepted laws of science and the authority of the church.
