It is important to not let wishful feelings influence your judgments. Scientific facts will eventually answer a lot of the these outstanding questions, it just may not be in a human time scale (ie: could take centuries). A lot of what were oddball ideas are now accepted, because of overwhelming evidence (continental drift, warm blooded, feathered dinosaurs, etc).
