No, not really. It's much more complex than that. A black hole is so hugely small it amazing! It is a GIANT star, like a million times the size of ours, That condensed. The gravitational pull of it was so strong it pulled all of it's body into an atom. Now this is somewhere betwen 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms and 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 ,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms. Imagine trying to smush that many cookies into the size of a single cookie. Seems supernatural, right? Anyways the gravitational pull gets so strong it creates this black field around it. This black field is literally nothing. The black hole itself is the size of an atom, but the field can stretch for lightyears. You see, this field is the point of no return. We see things by light bouncing off of things and heading back to our eye. Now, when light heads toward it, the gravitational pull is so strong that the escape velocity (how fast you have to got to get away) is faster than the speed of light, which is impossible to exceed. Then even light get's sucked into an atoms width. Now, in a whirlpool, you will just drown and get tossed away. But in a black whole, if it somehow dispersed and someone got your atoms back, they would be so warped and disfigured, all the King's horses and all the King's men,
Couldn't put you back together again. But the thing is, it doesn't disperse! The atoms don't go to the other side of the universe, the stay in the same place! Black holes are neither simple nor easy to figure out. We STILL don't know everything about them.

Hebrews 11:1-30 1 Faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld. 2 For by means of this the men of old times had witness borne to them. In other words: the assurance that what you want to be true, will be true, and you demonstrate your assurance in your speech and actions, even though you have no evidence. I believe you misunderstood the "evident demonstration of realities" part. The scripture says "Faith = assured expectation" and "Faith = evident demonstration". So the assurance is of the person who has faith, and the demonstration is the by the person with the faith. Take it however you want. For thousands of years people have used "God did it" to compensate for their lack of understanding of the natural universe. As scientific discoveries accumulate, the tendency to rely on such reasoning reduces, or changes. For instance, some people believe in God, but disagree that mankind is 6000 years young, or that there was a global flood 4000 years ago, in which every animal that lives today migrated to a giant boat, and then spread out to populate the world again. Yet religious organizations persists in discouraging members to challenge these doctrines under the threat of either hell or eternal destruction. So no you are not stupid for believing in black holes in planets. But accepting that doesn't necessarily require you to adhere to a particular lifestyle to meet the approval of black holes and planets now does it? You have little incentive to seek verification, or question it, as it likely has little impact on your day to day life (unless you were an astronomer or an astrophysicist, then you absolutely want to verify those claims) Most religious organizations perceive scientific discovery as a threat because it reduces reliance on the "God did it" argument. So they scramble to come up with arguments against evolution, or to debunk archaeological and anthropological findings, or to dispute carbon dating methods etc etc. Religious organizations are becoming irrelevant in answering the big questions, and they are going down swinging.
