No problem.
The commentary is from Creation-Evolution Headlines, not me. I believe most of the commentary is by David Coppedge, but I could be wrong. David is a scientist at JPL working on the Cassini project for NASA.

Astronomers needed a bigger storehouse to explain the number of short-period comets now inhabiting the solar system I can't believe that a scientific guess, umm, I mean theory, could be wrong

Comet/Asteroid Views Evolve 08/12/2003
We have been told for decades that comets are the most pristine objects in the solar system, kept in deep freeze since its origin. That view has “evolved,” says
Southwest Research Institute, because astronomers have become aware of processes that can modify them over time. Also, methods of classifying comets and asteroids need modification, claims the
Royal Astronomical Society. Categorizing them as Centaurs, Kuiper-Belt Objects, long- and short-period comets, etc. is misleading, because there are hybrid objects and no clear divisions in some cases.
The point is that science is always changing. How many planetarium shows or science TV programs have you heard that made the claim that comets are pristine objects, unmodified for 4.6 billion years? That they give us glimpses into the earliest state of the solar nebula before the planets formed? We’ve seen some radical rewriting of solar system formation theories recently. What commonly-accepted truths are being spouted today that are in for radical revision tomorrow? Darwinian evolution, maybe?

Depletion of the Kuiper Belt: another sad consequence of Bush's rejection of the Kyoto treaty.
To: JesseShurun
Hypothesis, Jesse...it all starts with a question. Then you make observations. Based on those observations you come up with working models...some to be further investigated, and some to be discarded. Ultimately, it is hoped that scientists can formulate a theory based upon those observations and models. However, the theory is always still open to modification...based on further observation. It is the process of science.

Well duh! The sky fell, and we missed it.... No, the problem is after 4.6 billion years there should be no comets left. Comets release material continuously. However the "just-so" stories of the scientists try to explain that there has to be a reservoir of comets "that have preserved them in a pristine state" to account for the percentage that we do see still in flight.
You can follow the other links to get the complete logic involved with the scientific model for comets.
The evidence continues to reveal their ignorance, and for some reason has a mounting desire to refute their faulty assumptions.

No! No! No!
The Kuiper belt is not the origin of comets. The Oort Cloud, beyond Pluto, is where all these little wandering icy astral bodies originate.
Dem guys don't know much.

Thanks for the heads up!
