No PaulP, that is a very rough and incorrect summary of events, you have misappropriated events and facts.

There’s plenty of evidence that something is causing a difference between observation and predictions, what we call it doesn’t matter

There is no evidence of dark matter or dark energy. You can conduct any google search you like. I could post a gazillion links, but it would not make a difference. If those anomalies I referred earlier were not noticed, no one would be discussing dark matter or energy.

A partial article only, but you get the gist.

Both posts make the same error, you assume because they do not have "evidence for what it is" that it is doesn't exist, that there is not yet an understanding of something is not evidence for it's absence. But I don't blame you it's a commonly arrived at erroneous conclusion that results from cursory investigations.

Your argument is very basic, like saying the object tripped over in a dark room doesn't exist, despite the pain, bruise and embarrassment!

Being hung up on the Dark labels is meaningless, especially given they were deliberately chosen to deride the original data, but the evidence is real in the indirect measurements of the acceleration of the expansion of the universe and in the detection of gravitational effects in the form of things like Einstein Rings. But that evidence still doesn't tell us what they are, just that they are, no belief or faith required.

Eventually we will know what these things are as well, because they are observable, measurable and testable.

You assume because science tells you it's true then it must be. Tripping produces a tangible result, and when you turn the light on you can see that. Maybe the reason they have no evidence after decides of searching, is that it actually doesn't exist.

You assume that because religious types (which I am not by the way) have no evidence that God exists, then that also does not exist ?

How would you measure a god ?

Paul, you keep making the same erroneous argument.

The evidence exists, it's the final unequivocal explanation of that evidence that doesn't yet exist! By the way, in science there can never be an unequivocal explanation, only a theory that gets refined whenever new evidence or data arise. But the predictions and hypothesis do match quite nicely, within our measurement capabilities many of the predictions have been matched to many tens of decimal places.

The same way you measure dark energy.

There is no evidence. I repeat. There is no evidence.  I repeat. There is no evidence.

I can detect God with redshift, doppler effect and spectroscopy, how?

So a return to dogma, I'm not here to offend or frustrate you, but you must be aware if you post rubbish as fact I'll have to call it out!

The evidence for those things is a solid and as tangible as that thing you trip over in the dark before you turn on the light, the explanation doesn't yet exist other than as hypothesis, no blind faith or belief required!

Should I stay in the dark and blame a God, if I were mischievous I'd ask which one?

Show me this evidence. Give me a link, a paper, an article, anything.

Happy reading!

So nothing for the common man ? Despite this plethora of evidence, you can't show me one simple layman's article ?
