I don’t think that’s true. The ideas of Dark Energy and Dark Matter are the best explanations for actual observations. There is no pressure to believe that they must exist. They are just the best we have right now and competing theories must be able to be confirmed by observations which they usually fail at.

The blue is dark matter. The pink is normal matter. It's thought that the two clumps of blue+pink there passed through each other. But the blues went right through each other, undisturbed, while the normal pink stuff formed a shockwave. >most of the mass in the cluster pair is in the form of two regions of dark matter, which bypassed the gas regions during the collision. This accords with predictions of dark matter as only weakly interacting, other than via the gravitational force.
