Not really. Dark Matter and dark energy are hypothetical forms of matter and energy that we assume must exist to make the universe function the way it is.
IMO (not an educated explanation) either we lack the ability and understanding to explain where these forms of matter and energy come from or where they are; or there is some underlying mechanics with gravity and matter that we just don't understand that causes dark energy and matter.
Since these are hypothetical terms that "should exist", even saying god did it (sorry Richard Dawkins) doesn't actually explain anything or make sense. Like what exactly did god do? My point is, even if we assume an omnipotent being did it all, it doesn't explain anything other than "miracles". Nothing falls into place assuming god did it. What we need to do is figure out exactly where these hypotheticals are, how they exist and hopefully use that knowledge to create a deeper unified field theory.
For thousands and thousands of years the mysteries of the universe could only be explained with god. Now, as we unravel the universe, people have the power to answer questions that once seemed divine. That's the power of humanity.

Reply to Honest question, what if we accepted the assumption that God created the universe 6,000 years ago, could this explain away dark matter and galaxy rotation? by DrMilzie
