one key question is unanswered: if promoting black holes caused people to read the Bible less, would you want to promote them?

::::: As for why the media's pushing black holes - hey, they're interesting to read about!  Myself, by Occam's razor, I don't think any more explanation is needed.  As for why KSorenson and I are pushing them - I can't speak for KSorenson, but I'm trying to defend falsifiability and the concept of a scientific theory, just like (I think) you are:  general relativity is a legitimate scientific theory, because it can theoretically be falsified. -- [[User:EvanW|EvanW]] 12:15, 13 November 2009 (EST)

:::::: Evan, I appreciate your comments and have learned from them.  My question was directed at KSorenson and Mark, not to you.  But using your answer, it doesn't explain the insistence by liberals on downplaying or even censoring criticism of black holes.  And one key question is unanswered:  if promoting black holes caused people to read the Bible less, would you want to promote them?  They certainly won't ever help anyone, while the Bible might.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 12:22, 13 November 2009 (EST)
