Is inflation science? The issue has been addressed by Paul Steinhardt, Peter Coles http://telescoper.wordpress.com/2014/06/05/has-bicep2-bitten-the-dust/, Ted Bunnhttp://blog.richmond.edu/physicsbunn/2014/06/04/even-if-bicep2-is-wrong-inflation-is-still-science/, and Alan Guth among others. Great talks by Steinhardt and Matias Zaldarriaga at Strings2014http://physics.princeton.edu/strings2014/Talk_titles.shtml presenting the two sides. I'm somewhere in the middle and think that dark matter is subject to the same critique.
