Many passages in the Bible refer to God "stretching out the heavens" "like a curtain"
Anyone have any theories or explanations that might offer insight to this? Interesting that 96 percent of the universe is a mystery to us.

Dark energy/matter is just a theory. Billy Graham once said "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth with a big bang." The increasing rate of the expansion of the universe is proof of that. The biblical statements "stretching out the heavens" and "like a curtain" were necessary to explain things to people who had no idea what stars and planets are. Many of those people believed the world was flat, and that everything revolved around the Earth. With our knowledge today they seem to take on an even more fascinating meaning!

I think you have your reality confused with your religion. Sure "god" could use dark matter, but only if there were a god.
Taking ersatz passages from the bible and putting them in a context of cosmology is only going to muddle the difference between the reckoning of people dead 2000 years with the scientific developments made possible with technology that's 20 years old.
