Perhaps a bit of both - so far all the modified theories of gravity intended to explain the 'dark matter' observations fall short and require something else in addition, i.e. dark matter!

I heard a suggestion that the 'dark energy' observations might be explained by a gravity that becomes repulsive at cosmological distances, but the consensus seemed to be that it couldn't be made to work.

The terms Dark Matter and Dark Energy are simply terms meaning that they don't know exactly what these things are but can only observe their effects and conjecture about what they might be. The conclusion that they exist is based on the simple, common principle of cause and effect.

The following article enumerates the various conjectures:

God-energy also has that same effect:

"I am the LORD, who has made all things, who alone stretched out the heavens...My own hands stretched out the heavens; I marshaled their starry hosts." -- (Isa 44:24, 45:12).

That is where selective blindness and the inconsistency in their policy glaringly comes in.
