After summarizing the observational data, two of the most respected scientists estimated the probability that any existing theory on galaxy formation is correct was about 1 out of 100.<ref name=fast_binaries>{{cite web|url=http://www.creationscience.com/onlinebook/ReferencesandNotes61.html#wp1212721|title=In the Beginning: Compelling Evidence for Creation and the Flood - 60.

"In 1977, [[Stephen Weinberg]] observed that "the theory of the formation of galaxies is one of the great outstanding problems of astrophysics, a problem that today seems far from solution". Although the past two decades have seen considerable progress, many questions remain." <ref>
