Science is religion for the current age.

People who think themselves to be intelligent, they refer to high level concepts in quantum theory and in Biology but don't have not done calculus 2 or 3 or even studied biology at a college level.

We live our lives the way our elders did. We go to the priests and learn from them the truth about the universe without understanding the base concepts ourselves and repeat it to ourselves to comfort us.

The priests are not fools but they do fool others, when they want they will drop misleading information to steer people into a direction they wish, at times.

Science relies on trust, if we do not trust each other, we no longer have science, if we trust without doubting, we allow these bad actor to enter and start manipulating.

Do you honestly expect a 50 year old bus driver to spend his nights reading up on the latest academic papers, do you expect a woman with two children to have time to read and understand articles not aimed at the masses?

How can we expect people to fallow science but also not believe through faith alone? Its not possible, science always requires faith, not only on the bases of data and analysis but also faith that people being put into high positions through merit.
