My point is how can you seriously listen to these people after saying such nonsense?
The obvious answer is, "because it makes us think".
One of the most valuable aspects of thinking outside of the box is that, along the way, even if that theory is wrong,
we might discover other stuff.
Just imagine something, let's chase it down, and let's see what we learn along the way.
Holy crap, come on. Science makes a lot of mistakes because it asks crazy questions. It's CURIOUS. That's how we progress.
Curiosity is really at the very core of science. And humanity, for that matter. If you really don't understand this, that isn't the fault of science.
