Anyone who believe such stuff is silly, they don’t know the slightest thing about deep space objects, nothing at all, yet they report it as fact, they aren’t even sure what Pluto is, honestly, all this deep space “science” is pure bunk.

...they aren’t even sure what Pluto is...

Is this the latest too stupid to breathe talking point? I've seen it twice on FR this week. It really embarrasses the site.

The problem with Pluto is that astronomers had discovered at least one object (Eris) bigger than Pluto and expect to find a lot more in that size range. You eather had to count them all as planets or come up with a different classification for them below "planet".

Pluto was merely a case of gaining more knowledge which screwed up the previously tidy classification system, not a case of finding that all science is bunk.
