It is pretty clear that this initial premise is patently false. The idea "from nothing, the Big Bang created everything" is not only a strawman fabrication oft used by the religious (hence why many here assumed that was your argument, and why the intro thread is so important), but is strays so far away from scientific consensus that to call it "scientific fact" and move on as if that is a given was a blunder. This initial statement undermines everything you said afterwards.
I was simply making the point that both seem to be lacking, which it seems others agree with. No argument there.

There level of importance depends on the specific question your asking. If your asking why entanglement occurs, dark matter and dark energy are not relevant to the answer. If your asking how the universe began, they are very relevant.
I guess that's my point, with such a limited understanding of "dark matter" and "dark energy", how does one conclude that it's not relevant? If it's 96% of our reality, how can one be sure it does not influence those things that we are trying to learn about? How do you know it's not an important variable?
