I think it does and is part of what is the accepted doctrines. Purely because they can't be observed and of course people cling violently to their belief these conclusions are correct as their work relies on them.
Newtonian physics is simple and plenty to get man to the moon, Einstein I think merely expanded and overcomplicated things to try to encompass more base values.
Predictions though (ie formulae) should get us accurate ballparks and observations should give accurate data to refine the predictions and around they go refining each other to a level of precision you want.
Personally I don't believe the big bang was a singularity (just because you can run the equations back to a fun beach ball comparison or a sub atomic sized point). Likewise I dont believe the universe will end up a uniform nothingness with heat death reducing everything to absoute zero. Again just because you can take one equation to that point doesn't mean squat. I also dont believe the explanations of the increased expansion of the universe as they are always based on observations further out which means further back in time and so closer to the big bang and the closer you observe to that event the more acceleration you'd expect to see from a big bang. so these observation are to me what I'd expect and dont need dark energy. Its people observing one event using an inappropriate frame of reference. Ok I'm more likely to be wrong of course and its something I want to be able to explore myself.
I also look forward, Alex, to growing an extra 54 feet in the next three years. So thanks for reminding me
Thouhg I don't look forward to shopping for a new bed to suit.
