Do you think the latest astronomical discovery undermines the belief that scientists really know everything...

... about how the universe was formed? When you look at the hypotheses - i.e. dark matter, dark energy, the Higgs field - don't you sometimes feel like scientists are trying to make it seem as if they "know" everything about the universe? When, a discovery like this a href="http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/070823_huge_hole.html" rel="nofollow"http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/07…/a comes along, don't you wonder if maybe they don't know as much as they claim to? I am totally for science, and I think it is one of the greatest endeavors of humankind. I just feel somtimes like there is little room for new theories or thoughts about some things - like the formation of the universe - because scientists present ideas like The Big Bang as facts - not hypotheses, and I think this sometimes stifles new discoveries. What are your thoughts on this?
