Why is the truth so necessary for some?

Until some evidence shows up, the speculation is enough of a distraction. I truly see no need to disparage or discredit anyone.

Granted, there is no proof, and I have complained about it in the past, to no avail.

But I am still here, still trying to link information together to create a plausable explanation of the story as given by the OP.

Does it matter if hard evidence has surfaced and we can now say that it is all gloom and doom? No, not hardly.

Like many things in life, it is a excercise in imagination and faith. Not religeous faith, but faith that something may come of it.

Without that kind of imagination, faith, and a determination to continue on even when it seems hopeless or useless to take another step, there would be no Scientific inquiry or the development of the world we now know.

Will the thread bear fruit? I don't know. But I do know that trying to dismiss it out of hand and having detractors at every turn is either malicious, self centered, or ignorant.

Have some faith, and let the thoughts and the waves of speculation carry you out to the unknown sea and the possibility of a new shore.
