Over hundreds of years,it has taken countless brave scientists to come forth and challenge hard-standing theories and laws.Today,after recieving an amount of education in the field of science...what do you hold doubt againest? With passion!

Boy, this is a hard one. There re so many! Mine would have to be in regards to health care, pharmaceutical science and the vaccination / autism debate. Big pharm and the CDC still swear that the mercury preservative thimerosal that was once freely pumped through the veins of American Children, has absolutely nothing to do with the huge increase in autism in the last 15 years. Oddly, now that enough parents and Doctors pushed the CDC to have it remove from vaccines... and the CDC, (in order to appease the general public) politely requested big pharm to remove it from childhood vaccinations...the rates have dramatically dropped, thus the autism epidemic and other neurodevelopmental disorders are on the decline. The Theory that mercury was safe for tiny children was the biggest scientific blunder of the millennium. Now the health care and educational cost of raising these children will reach well into billions of dollars annually. (not to mention the grief and hardship of the families of these children)

Oh man, where do I begin!
I'd say that I doubt the concept of time as the 4th dimention the most. Time just does not fit in the dimention category... I think there is a special group of phenomena (neither energy nor dimention) that time belongs to...
How else is it possible that relativity (general) predicts imaginary time for some events? Unidirectionality of time is another problem...
But yea, I also don't like string theory but that's another story :P
P.S. On evolution: it is still easier to test than intelligent design, just study genetics or archeology and you will find countless arguments for evolution... or just open your eyes and realize that some spicies look alike.

With passion? None. I get angry when people try to shoot holes in evolutionary theory just by squaking about God... evolution has been explored and solidified so deeply and is such a fundamental part of our demonstrable understanding of molecular and ecological biology, that scientists will no more question it than they would question relativity or electromagnetism. I also doubt astrophysical theories about how the universe came from "nothing." I think that truly should be left in the arena of theology (unlike the origin of species).
Note: evolution is observable through genetic observation of prehistoric tissue samples, and it is observable among populations of micro-organisms.

Most of the cosmology stuff, big bang, superstring, dark matter. Too much speculation too little experimental verification. Seems like we're trying to squeeze certainty about the universe from what is a very limited perspective in the universe. We need to get out there and look around a bit more.

The "Big Bang" theory, No Question. Because First) what cause the big bang in the first place? and before the big bang, what was there? Nothing? it was only a big huge ball og gas? there was SOMETHING more other than that, but of course they wont say that! lol But yeah the big bang theory has to be the #1 that just doesn't go with their theory.

Theory of evolution. It's very hard to test the theory since the time scale in which evolution occurs is much larger than a human life span.

Here's the thing... by totally discounting any possibility, you are ruling out the opportunity to be wrong. Once you have reached the point where you think you have the complete picture, you'll never learn anything new. Stagnant, rotting on the vine.
Skepticism is great. Denial is the death of knowledge and the avoidance of wisdom.

Evolution. As far as shooting holes through the theory, scientist do that themselves. It changes ALL the time. They change their mind all the time on the theory. The Bible never changes.

Superstring theory. As far as I'm concerned, anything that has yet to produce empirical confirmation is not even worthy of the name theory.
