Scientists believe equal quantities of matter and antimatter were formed in the Big Bang that created the universe. These opposite particles should have completely annihilated each other. But one-billionth of the matter remains, said Stewart Smith, a BaBar project spokesperson. It's as if two armies started with a billion soldiers each, and at the end of the war only one soldier was left standing * he was made of matter, said Smith during a tour of the experimental facility: "We're trying to understand why."
And here's what you said:

It has been theorized that at the beginning of the Big Bang, a "war" occured involving dark matter and normal matter (in other terms, there happened to be a huge amount of both and this meant conflict due to the fact that dark matter, and normal matter destroy one another upon meeting), and normal matter had the victory. (there happened to be a greater amount of normal matter. The leftover, surviving matter is the makeup of the universe)
How did you conclude that antimatter is the same as (a synonym for) 'dark matter'?
