Even the guy who came up with the idea of black holes no longer believes in them.

"Stephen Hawking Stopped Believing in Black Holes"
http://www.newrepublic.com/article/11644...dont-exist

If black holes did exist then they should have been able to have consumed all of the stellar material in their respective galaxies. The fact that galaxies exist disproves the idea of black holes.

Except that statement is a very poor summary of the article, and the article is a very poor description of what Hawking said.

He doesn't say that black holes don't exist. He says they aren't quite what we thought they were.

This is called science. Our understanding is improved by new data and new theory.

It's amazing how many people throw out that argument without having read more than a clickbait title.
