Fred, Fred,
All data must be verifiable or else it isn't valid data.
Additionally, I must remind you that all science is basically hypothesis, hypothesis, hypothesis.
Those wanting truths in the laboratory are sent to the church down the street.
Science can produce high probabilities, but absolute truths are the realm of theology and philosophy. Such truths are more a produce of agreed upon definitions than verified hypothesis - hence the difference between the laboratory and the church.
As the job descriptions are different, so are the lab and the church.
"I must remind you that all science is basically hypothesis, hypothesis, hypothesis."
The hypothesis that interests me is that of a number of catastrophic celestial 'accidents' that left their mark upon Earth, Moon and Mars and almost wiped out life on our planet.
