- Hmm. Seems like if astronomers stopped posing such questions, we would never
- get a reasonable answer to any of them. Are you suggesting that all astronomers
- pack up and quit their research? I suppose that if people had ceased challenging
- theories that the Earth was at the center of Everything that we would be better
- off today (??????). It is critical to discuss and question these issues over
- and over again not only in the light of new observational clues, but by
- voices of people new to the astronomical arena.
