Your argument on the Big Bang is either due to ignorance of the theory and evidence, or a deliberate straw-man. Quickly, Bang Bang Cosmology says that at some point in the past, the mass/energy content of the Universe was compacted down to an EXTREMELY, hot, dense, small point. Then it began expanding out very rapidly. It does not claim it came from nothing, just that it was hella compact before. It does not address where the stuff came from. (And therefore the claim that the theory states it came from nothing is false. )
Dark matter has evidence for it. It's gravitational effects are readily apparent in the motion of galaxies. Uranus was discovered by the way it perturbed the orbits of other planets, binary stars have been discovered that way, exoplanets, etc. They where all a kind of "Dark matter" until sufficiently advanced imaging technology came along. (Or it might be matter that only interacts via gravity and the weak nuclear force, in which case you can't "see" it with photons.) Just take the term dark matter as "We can detect it's gravitational effects, but we can't see with electromagnetic radiation"
Not that unsolved problems involving the sparse environment of intergalactic space, and the issue with not being able to get there and look up close bear any relevance on assessing historical artifacts here on Earth from 1500 years ago.
I've never read any mention of any sort of psychedelic mushroom (or Psychedelic period) in any European mythology, nor seen any mushrooms in religious artwork, or otherwise heard of pre-christian Britain having any cultural use of mushrooms.
