I would like to know what hypotheses have been verified multiple times by scientists that David Robinson is referring concerning evolution ("Proof of evolution is observable," Sept. 27). Their hypotheses are no more than observations of the past, which are interpreted, not proven scientifically.

Imagine the weight of a nagging suspicion that what held your world together, a constant and consistent presence you had come to understand and rely on, wasn't what it seemed. That's how scientists feel when they ponder gravity these days.
