The big bang and the age of the universe is based upon lots of observational and experimental evidence. It is a deeply robust scientific theory.

And if I say there was no “big Bang” 13.5 billion years ago, you would say I am insane.

Much of the baryonic matter we can see because it emits light, but some of it is diffuse and between galaxies, which makes it very difficult to observe (hence dark). The second peak allows us to know the total amount of matter, and thus subtracting the bright regular matter we know how much of it we haven’t observed (i.e. dark). This is different from “dark matter” which is not baryonic.
