To accelerate, an 'energy' or 'force' of some type must be placed on it.
The name given to this yet unknown force, "dark energy".
No one is saying, "This is what dark energy is."
They're just giving that name to whatever the force is that is causing the universe to accelerate.
Ok, so "The Force" (haha Yoda) is causing the acceleration of the expansion of the universe. Wow, calling it that makes me uncomfortable. Almost as uncomfortable as calling it "God"

All things talked about in physics are evidenced by some observation. Otherwise they won't in physics, they would be in theology.
Um... you may want to check your facts. Dark energy has not been observed, only it's assumed effects.
