Exactly.
I have a big problem with science accepting "dark energy" and "string theory" and "many worlds" and "37 dimensions" and all sorts of other untestable things just because they provide a convenient theoretical basis to explain things which are otherwise unexplainable.
If I say "God created the universe" a lot of scientists would scoff at such an unscientific notion. It's not science!!!! It's theology!!!
Well, a lot of fairly mainstream science is really theology. They just oppose Christianity -- as theology goes, it's not their cup of tea,
“Yawn. Theology masquerading as science.
Exactly.

I agree, the other side of this is any opposition to current dogma/theory threatens their tenure and or PHD status... so is it science or a religion?
“....”dark energy” and “string theory” and “many worlds” and “37 dimensions” ....”
Except there is some mathematics support for this. That doesn’t validate it but its better then hand waving and in the past has pointed the way for experiments.
Some of the cosmological theories under present knowledge require impossible levels of energy to validate. This will always be a problem for those types of theories.
