Kim,
I too wish I had deeper knowledge in a great many subjects; however, I am not irked by this. I strongly consider the knowledge and opinion of those who's life work deals with the subject at hand to better my understanding and form my own opinion. Consider the blog you referenced.
PineappleBunny has already pointed out one facet of the blog authors use of the paper. Might I suggest page 6 for an honest assessment of what isn't known, why, and the proposed next steps for further inquiry? Seems the blog author didn't read that far or doesn't understand how science works. Another possibility is that the blog author ignored it in order to invoke the very unscientific and ubiquitous god-botherer gambit of shoving God into spaces of ignorance. Ignorance motivates science by illuminating another avenue of inquiry.
Here's a link to the referenced paper.
