Shpoop, I am not faulting ART for being skeptical. Of course science has made, or rather led to, mistakes. That is the beauty of science, it is self correcting. If something proves to be faulty it is modified or replaced with something that is less faulty. I am a huge proponent of skepticism actually. My contention with ART was that he was trivializing what theories we do have because of their short comings in certain areas. Dark matter is one mystery that science hasn't yet illuminated. The point though, is that we would have no idea what-so-ever that this "dark matter" exists without the current theories.
