Yeah, I just a hard time reading that specific article. It was pretty poorly written. He makes som good points and I can see where he's going with it. He just didn't have the persuasive qualities to get me to buy into it.

I can see why the theory exists though. With thousands of bodies with their own gravitational pulls pulling on each other... It's hard to imagine a solar system that is as settled and predictable as ours is. Granted gravity on a large scale reacts much slower than the gravity of an apple falling to the ground... But it's still hard to ignore gravity since it is a quanitfiable entity. It can be viewed as the proverbial "glue" that holds the system together as well. I can see the perspective. That's the great thing about science... Theory is theory until it's proven right or wrong. I could say that the air in outerspace smells like roses.... no one can prove me wrong.
