Another aspect to consider - there are theories about planetary formation, star formation, and galaxy formation.  While it is reasonable to say that we do not know with certainty about these things, once can at least present information about them.  If one is to present educational information, presenting information is much more useful than presenting someone saying "don't know."  One could link to and explain http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1955PASP...67..154H for star formation for example.  This would be much more useful to a student or teacher who wants to actually learn about or teach about star formation.  With what is here, one would be tempted to go to another site that has the information instead. --[[User:Mtur|Mtur]] 00:38, 4 May 2007 (EDT)

: Quotes of scientists that are critical of theories should be included.  They should not be concealed here, or merely linked to.  As long as the quotes were said, and particularly if they go against the interest of the speaker, they should be here.

: Claims about the age of the universe rely on assumptions and are often not even scientific, as there is no way to falsify such speculation.  See [[Karl Popper]].  I don't have a problem with a section at the end that reviews speculation by some scientists, as long as it is not overstated and does not attempt to convert a liberal opinion into a statement of proven fact.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 01:41, 4 May 2007 (EDT)
