As fascinating documentaries and shows about space and Earth are, I always find myself thinking that the events that "happened" are just literally wild guesses about what happened, as opposed to something that can be proven.

The big bang theory sounds really dumb to me, and theories about how the earth itself formed sound even dumber.

I just saw a segment explaining that a planet collided with earth, ejecting matter which became the moon, and in turn stabilized the earth's poles. This was presented as accepted fact. Seems to me that none of this stuff is even partially proven. Why do the science networks propagate this garbage?

Nobody knows what the hell happened to form planets or the universe itself. Yet, day after day these scientists roll along just making shit up and making cable specials with these random stories they make up to present as HISTORY of the universe.

WTF? Can anyone help me understand why so much garbage about space is propagated with no checks and balances from the real scientific community which demands proof?
