Nothing wrong with faith, believing something not [yet] seen
could someday be manifested somehow or someway.

But...faith or confidence in some future development still requires
some form of evidence or observation to fulfill it.

    - not exactly, the burden is to Offer a BETTER theory - nick hoffman - 7/14/2008 10:33:08 AM

        You're trying to indicate that the Oort Cloud theory explains a lot? - Jacob - 7/14/2008 2:21:04 AM
        
        It is not impossible that a better solution might somehow be found for the evidence at hand. - alcaray - 7/14/2008 2:41:09 AM
