Wow, you're so completely wrong. You seem to really misunderstand how science works.

The Higgs boson is nearly universely expected to be found because the theoretical evidence is so strong for it, at the moment dark energy is being treated as a possible explanation but by no means as certainly being correct. Coming up with a reasonable alternative theory (and due to the things I stated earlier a supernatural power can never be treated as a reasonable alternative in science) will certainly not get you excommunicated. In fact coming up with a reasonable alternative to dark energy will probably make you famous.

 

That therin lies the problem.  You need an alternate theory.  People would call you insane if like Einstein you claimed... "our current core base is flawed."

It's not a matter of an alternative to Dark Energy it's an alternative to EVERYTHING since Dark Energy is just something made up to prop up the current system.  Like Aether.

 

Also once again.  Find once scientist who disagrees with Dark Energy.  You can't find one.  Nobody just saying "Hey maybe general relativity is just wrong."

The evidence out there seems to already suggest that Dark Energy doesn't exist yet nobody wants to look at it.

I can't believe you're still arguing on this extremely flawed point. Dark energy isn't universally accepted, there are alternative theories and certainly all scientists don't think it exists!

Also our current core base (the standard model) is certainly not completely wrong, as far as it describes it has very good accuracy in predicting results. However it is either flawed or at the very least extremely incomplete, all scientists know this.
