Secondly, even if some unidentified energy supply is necessary, I
can't understand why you see that as a problem; 50 years ago we knew

about it. Why do you rule out other forces or supplies of energy that
we don't know anything about?

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_energy>

All we know about dark energy is there exists an observed behavior of
the cosmos that's consistent with a form of negative pressure
associated with spacetime itself.  Its cause remains unknown.

As to your larger point, to suggest that our ignorance of dark matter,
or of any aspect of cutting edge science, justifies a presumption that
the mind has access to sources of energy beyond which are already
identified, is logically absurd.
