Exploring Celestial Arguments

✨ Writing Prompt

Conduct a literature review to identify at least three main arguments in favor of a predominant theory and three significant counterarguments against it. In your writing, summarize each argument and counterargument concisely. Then, address the counterarguments by providing a rebuttal that references existing literature and offers your analysis.
