That's right. Science always tries to clarify it's terms as much as possible while mystics try to make everything intentionally vague.

Also if we address the problem of Dark Energy and follow that quote's logic we can arrive at a conclusion that since dark energy apparently opposes gravitation (including "mysterious godly Dark Matter") and acts "to tear the Creation apart" it's a work of Satan and since it's around 70% of all the energy and matter in the known Universe and the studies show accelerated expansion Satan is more powerfull than God. That's the way of mystic interpretations.

Haha that's great. Many physicists would probably agree that Dark Energy is the work of the Devil Tongue

Although I don't find DE to be as mysteriously mysterious as it's always made out to be. It's just the Energy level of the vacuum. If you look at the Standard Model (i.e. the field theory of all the particles and forces), you find that literally everything in it contributes to the vacuum energy, and the Higgs for sure. The only mystery is that the Standard Model predicts 120 orders of magnitude too much DE (assuming it is valid up to the planck scale, if new particles come in at some closer scale, this number is reduced), and you have to use the cosmological constant to cancel it with enormous precision. If someone finds a technical reason for this cancellation, or an anthropic one which is not so far-fetched, the mystery is not so terrible any more.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
