and you just reminded me.has the oort cloud been observed?i think i read that it is only theorized?

If you'd bothered to read the post in which I mentioned the Oort Cloud, you will have read that no-one has ever seen it, but that the evidence for it is reasonable. That happens, Pete, old boy. Note, I said "evidence". Your rather sour post, which appears to cast aspersions on this genuine scientific concept, wouldn't be half so stupid had it not emanated from a man who, without the merest scrap of evidence, rubbishes evolution and promotes the insane concept of creationism. Where I come from we call that double standards.
