You seem to be of the opinion that since we don't have a theory of quantum gravity then we should ignore all attempts to come up with one. I just want you to accept the fact that there will be a theory of quantum gravity. We don't know what it will really look like, but there will be one. So we can report on any research that we do in the search for it, hoping that what we find will help to reach the goal.
