I have another theory: God created the Universe.
Searching for him would of course be useless, because he can do anything and explain anything, resolve any observed "anomalies", just because he can do it, "by magic".
We are not content with such explanations like "by magic", except in the case of "Nothing existed then it exploded, by magic.".
We seek real answers! So instead of searching for God we search for things like "dark matter" and "dark energy", and we know that these are things with all the properties needed to explain everything...
We know everything else perfectly, and it perfectly makes sense. What does not make sense can only be explained by magic stuff with exactly the needed properties.
By this "reductio ad absurdum", I showed what happens when you give up science. "There are so many things to figure out, we are bored, we will suppose that this magic dark stuff does exist, (it's not God, nothing religious or imaginary here) and it will have all the needed properties to explain everything". Simple, now everything is explained, all that's left is to search for the stuff, but that's a minor detail. Anyone who tries to do real science will be ridiculed, because we already explained everything.
