> We have made certain observations that are assumed to be the result of matter falling into a "Black Hole". We do not have any observations that show us this as a fact.

Do you believe in gravity? We've never observed it directly, always just its effects.



I believe in the observational effects of something we call gravity. As to its nature, that is still unknown. GR is one model/theory and it works most of the time. But there are observations that do not fit into this model. That is the sticking point - these observation suggest that, though GR is useful, it is seriously flawed.

Can we use it, yes. But to believe that it is true, that is something quite different.
