The point. The central point is, the proposal of dark energy and dark matter are driven by evidence and observed phenomenon, that contradicts the central dogma of big bang and general relativity. That means that these are not proposed answers drivend by an effort to prop up theory. Quite the contrary. They are observations that require a better and probably different cosmological theory. This is exactly contrary to what I thought while reading through papers and trying to figure out what was going on.
