Personally, I think it is a great thing; to have a "healthy skepticism". Especially, when it comes to the sciences. There are way too many "unknowns" especially when it comes to astronomy and the space sciences, in my view, to have anything deemed "concrete". We need to learn a great deal more, in my view. That is what I am taking away from this terrific article. Thanx, for sharing!!!

Or someone may not have the understanding to grasp the theory in the first place. I was that way with the "Theory of Evolution", until it was explained to me. There are parts I still don't agree with, but, I'm understanding it more and more. I see that as progress, for me. I am by no means perfect, or an expert in anything. But, I like to learn.
