The Whack theory still has some important exceptions, which is why there’s a Double-Whack theory, which also has exceptions.

“The moon was created this way” is an opinion.

"hypothesis", rather than "opinion", no?

Hypothesis:

  1. A tentative explanation for an observation, phenomenon, or scientific problem that can be tested by further investigation.
  2. Something taken to be true for the purpose of argument or investigation; an assumption.
  3. The antecedent of a conditional statement.

I'd agree if it was stated as "current thinking holds that" or "one theory is" not just "here's how it happened". The latter is an opinion.

Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.
