People have a notorious propensity for creating mythologies to fill whatever knowledge gaps happen to exist. As science fills those gaps, believers struggle to cling to old mythologies which, nonetheless, must either evolve or eventually die. Yet, as science makes new discoveries new questions arise and new gaps are found; and those new gaps offer opportunities for new mythologies to evolve and develop, and so the cycle continues. The need to adhere to, or to formulate, a metaphysical belief system is natural and understandable - but it's folly to look to the physical world to substantiate such a system. Belief that Dark Matter and Dark Energy must be unmeasurable may be commensurate with some inner need, but it's a walk on thin ice.
