I also do not believe in Quarks.
I just got my Ph.D. in physics from the Illinois Institute of Technology in Dec. 2009. After studying particle physics, quantum mechanics, and general relativity, I have come to realize that there is a great deal of deeply entrenched error in the curriculum of modern physics. Although the ideas of Black Holes and Quarks are presented as proven and certain by the mainstream scientific press, as well as the popular press, they are in fact conjectures for which no direct evidence exists.
Consider the following problematic aspects of Quark Theory and Black Hole Theory: They are not testable.
According to Quark theory, free quarks can not exist. Quarks only exist as components of larger observable particles. They are therefore not directly observable and so do not leave tracks in particle detectors. Their existence can only be infered from the interactions of observable particles, and the conservation of hypothetical quantum numbers like strangeness.
Likewise, Black Holes are not directly observable because they do not emit light of their own (Hawking radiation has been shown to be implausible). Their presence can only be indirectly inferred either by gravitational lensing or by their gravitational effects on nearby observable bodies.
