Isn’t the astroid still a theory?

Yeap, just like gravity.

Because outside of math, in science there is never any “proven!” moment. But you can range anywhere from fuzzy ideas, to untested hypotheses, to tested hypotheses, to lightly confirmed theories, to theories which are hard to tell apart from absolute fact.

The point is though, that there must always be room for correction and for new evidence to be accounted for.

It’s hard to understand exactly what your points are with such a brief, dismissive reply, but FWIW I made some critiques here and I thought the mod answered rather well.

What exactly are you responding to, may I ask? The modern concept of paganism, the community in question, that mods’ intents, or whatever the historical concept of paganism meant…?

Wow… I don’t know what to say about this @#*!$ disease, but at least we have each other to tell our tales, no?

Oh god, yeah.
One of the worst things ever was being ultimately convinced by my friends & family that I was ‘just a bit lazy and just a bit crazy’ and all that… convinced to redouble my efforts to ‘break on through to the other side.’ Which I sincerely tried, with every bit of my being.

Holy hell, and I would sometimes subsequently slip in to *severe*-mode for a while, which was absolute terrifying. Like, I could barely even make my way to the bathroom to attend to my duties, and all that.

So I learned that, sadly, I could never trust other people to actually comprehend what I was going through. That I was all alone, completely, and somehow I would have to work things out and survive, with egg on my face over-and-over again.

And unfortunately, it seems those kinds of typical doctors are simply following their training, inclining them to believe they’re dealing with the issue responsibly, generally spurring them to look at other causes.

I recently subbed to CasualEurope, myself. Some others I’ve been enjoying, lately: (sorry, my link formatting sucks)

Unfortunately, when Lemm.ee went down early, I failed to preserve my 2-year list of subscriptions from that acct. So I’ve got a boatload of work to do trying to repopulate that list. :S

I have no idea what you’re talking about, but I can understand Spanish & French if that helps you out.

Sounds like the name of a researcher with a French last name, who, likely being a scientist, would have conducted their research under routinely strict (i.e. not liberal) controls.
