The Dow Theory is really in kind of a crossroads here that will probably be resolved in the next month or two.

The Theory of Evolution.

a theory in crisis.

I don't understand this theory well enough to respond to it and I don't know if anybody else will be able to, either. But I eagerly await them trying to explain it to the judge.

Assuming that it holds up -- and I believe it will -- this is a theory that both greatly clarifies the way that most stars in the universe probably form, and also ties the properties of the solar system and Earth itself back to the conditions in the larger astrophysical environment in which we formed.

In the absence of evidence, superstition. It's a Middle Ages thing. That's my theory anyway.
