If their theory places a dark matter halo around the galaxies, why would that not attract the outer stars and matter further out from the galactic center ?
The answer is called shell theorem.
Yes, this theorem helps them in case of dark matter. What about star and planet formation when only gravity is taken into acount? Imagine a giant ball of gas or a field of rocks. Particles are not even pulled towards one single point. In adition to this, in case of gas, there is this thing called "pressure". (Even in space).
Why doesn't the atmosphere collapse to the surface of the Earth? Because of gas pressure.
And they say gravity is strong enough to hold together a mass of hydrogen the size of the Sun, and while this mass of hydrogen is exploding...
