yeah i understand a little that its dark matter that is pushing the galaxys further away,but as far as dark energy is concerned their is no physical evidence presentable for it ,yet they strongly believe it is there,i think it goes to show that their is still alot about this universe that is yet to be discovered,especially in the terms of quantim physic's and reality.

No different than an unkown source of energy that people call God and use stories to explain the energies influences on matter.
Believing the measurements of physical movements in the universe requires faith?How so?

But it is inferred by the motions of the universe.Like I said,if you can detect something being pushed and pulled,it stands to reason that something is causing it,even if you can't see it.It isn't imaginary.

Beleiving in the unkown source of energy.
I would call it God.
Don't bother with the religious attacks.

OK then,although I actually said it requires no faith to believe in the measurements,let's take it further,If you have proof of the measurements,then why does it require faith to believe that something is causing them?Dark matter and dark energy are just names,like John Doe,that scientists give to the yet unnamed cause of those measurements.But the measurements are there,so why insist it takes faith to believe in the cause of those measurable movements?

i was just using an example that their are some real ghost experiences out there which would therefore imply that their is more to life than this physical body,in-fact the average old person would have gone through many bodys even in this life because cells are continuosly dying and been renewed,so the self is not this material body but something else,,,,,reincarnation is the transmigration of the soul from one body to another,it occures even in this lifetime.

The faith that people have is in their scientists more than that there is an unknown energy force.
As you said,there is a measurement persay.
The measurement is of movement not of the energy source itself.
So what is wrong with using the name God for the source of energy?

That would be people sensing the matter that they are made of that also has an unknown source of energy that holds the very smallest particles known to man together.
