Do you believe in dark energy and matter?

Inserting dark energy where push is needed to make the universe expand at the rate it does help in building on higher level theories and hypothesis, but I was wondering, how many people actually believes there is such a force compared to simply not understanding gravity and other "normal" forces completely?
The same with dark matter - it makes the maths work out nicely in predicting or reversing the rotation of galaxies, and in this sense use it by all means, but really - don't you think it's just a matter of we're not entirely understanding gravity and other physics at such huge scales? Einstein fine tuned a lack in Newtons' theories on gravity on a stellar scale, maybe theres more finetuning needed for a galactic scale?
It just sounds like another string theory...
