Established scientific dogma should not be overturned lightly or easily.
Gather sufficient evidence and it will go bye-bye. And that’s the way it should be.
This is essentially the same idea that existing social constructions and principles should be given the benefit of the doubt and not thrown under the bus for momentary convenience.
I believe when applied to politics this POV is known as conservatism. Not a belief that change should always be avoided, but rather that you should have a damn good reason before making big changes.
The evidence has been overwhelming for years. . . But the orthodox cosmologists and astronomers will strain at gnats and shove camels through eyes of needles to ignore that evidence. When the Electric Universe Cosmologists made 19 specific predictions about what would happen when the Deep Impact space probe struck comet Tempel 1, those paragons of science bent over backwards to ignore them. When every single one of the nineteen proved to be right on the money, they redoubled their efforts to ridicule them, despite their complete accuracy and vindication of events. One of those predictions was that the impact would reveal there would be no H2O, let alone ice found on the "dirty snow ball" that the "accepted theory of comets" maintained they were composed of. The impact revealed ZERO water. . . Which astounded the orthodox astronomers and cosmologists because they were certain that comets were "dirty snow balls!" But, instead of saying "Congratulations, you were right!" To the Electric Universe Cosmologists who predicted this finding, they claimed to find water when they analyzed the dust and found a Hydroxyl molecule (OH), Hydrogen, and Oxygen among the ejecta and announced officially "Voila! We found Water! Or, at least chemicals, that in the right conditions can combine to make water. . ." Without saying that there was less than 0.01% of the amount required even IF they magically combined to make the water! The other 18, including the double bolt of lightning that blew out the on board electronics a split-second before the craft hit the comet, have gone unexplained in the standard, orthodox cosmology. . . and are being ignored, swept under the carpet. That is willful ignoring of the facts and evidence. . . and there is plenty of evidence of deliberate sabotage of the work of Electric Universe cosmologists, from deliberately canceling grants, deep-sixing papers, and the blackballing or refusal of tenure to educators who dare to research, publish or even discuss the concept. . . Despite the fact that a couple of Electric Universe cosmologist have won Nobel prizes.
