Does cosmic energy exit?

Personally, I believe that there is a some kind of force or energy in the universe or the cosmos. I have no facts or proofs to support my belief, but the intense, tumultuous and continued activity in the universe is enough for me to see that there’s energy going on, and plenty of it. Sure, to prove this, or anything for that matter, science relies on evidence that can be observed, measured, and tested repeatedly.

There certainly are scientific phenomena that no one fully understand yet, which has led others than myself to believe they might be evidence of a cosmic force. Things like Dark Matter and Dark Energy, these mysterious substances making up most of the universe's mass and energy. 

While we can't directly observe them, their gravitational effects are quite real and their mystery has led some to proposed theories about forces beyond science’s current understanding of physics. In addition, the nature of the universe has to be fine-tuned for life to exist. 

For instance, if the strength of the electromagnetic force were to change, stars wouldn't be able to survive and their ability to fine-tune has led some to believe in a special force. Finally, the nature of consciousness is still a scientific mystery. How does physical matter give rise to subjective experience? Some scientists believe that consciousness could be a fundamental property of the universe, suggesting a deeper reality. 

Just like for religious issues, scientists hold their own view on these points. Their understanding of the universe is constantly expanding, yet what they don't know today might be explained by future scientific discoveries. They also prefer naturally based explanations and would only bring a cosmic force as a last resort when all other explanations have been exhausted. 

This means that the existence of a cosmic force or energy can’t be proved or disproved it at this point by scientists. However, as we continues to explore the universe's mysteries and discover new insights, we will continue to gain a better understanding of these questions in the future...
