Common sense

Matters of fact are virtually always less relevant when history is concerned
For the vast majority of people the trust in science is analogous to the trust in religion that came before it
Knowledge and authority is safeguarded by institutional authority and resources
Experts are trained in the correct doctrines and methods
And there is a whole class of educators dedicated to disseminating this truth to the broader people
People have to believe in science and scientific authority because it is logistically impossible to replicate all the experiment underpinning scientific knowledge for each and every skeptic
More often than not scientific claims are a departure from common-sense claims that forces the beliver in science to abandon what their senses and basic thinking would tell them
It is hardly intuitive to believe that all the objects of the world are fundamentally constructed of dots flying around bumping into each
That heredity is carried through an absurd geometrical double helix
That the universe in its totality spontaneously emerged in an explosion without cause or guidance
One must have much faith to believe such things
