God vs Big Bang- Are either correct?

[Surgenator]

That article is addressing "public health professionals and pharmaceutical companies." Soft science it is much harder to prove causation. In hard science, like physics and chemistry, it is the expectation.

Now your really starting to sound like an ID troll when your going to use the non-science definition of theory.

It was a stat example that discussed how in order to claim causation, you have to be really sure you've controlled for all the possible variables.

Yes you have to be sure. Do you know when statiticians claim to be sure, at 95% confidence. Scientist make claims of discovery at 95% confidence.

My argument is that things like "dark matter" and "dark energy" (if we are to assume they are "things") are possible variables that would have to be considered before confirming causation with regard to many of the claims being made about our reality, how we experience it, and how it came to be.

You don't seem to understand scales. DM interactions are noticible on GALACTIC SCALES. They are not noticable on smaller scales like Earth, because they so rarely interact. You need a galaxies worth to notice them.

Dark Energy is on the galaxy cluster scale. You don't notice the weak effect until you have a galaxy cluster worth.
