View submission: Which side shoulders the burden of proof?
That is well stated.
The james webb space telescope sent back some pretty damning images of a theory that has already failed a test. A hypothesis is supposed to be testable and when something fails a test, I don't know if the next logical step is to dream up dark energy or admit the test failed, but the experts seem to think we can just dream up matter, energy and in some cases countless universes all because the results don't fit the hypothesis on the table.

Sure. There are still a lot of missing pieces in physics and astronomy, and dark energy is proposed to be the cause of some phenomena that don’t fit our models.
But something like the Big Bang theory is very well understood. Keep in mind that the theory isn’t telling us where it came from or what caused it, just that the universe started as an incredibly dense singularity and expanded. That much we know pretty confidently
