I am right and I suspect you know it... you just don't like the way it makes you feel. Hence your focus on vibes and ad hominums rather than reason.

It is self evident that moderm science is too complex for the average person to understand, and fifty percent of us are less intelligent than even that.

I think you're grossly overestimating the complexity of most modern science outside of physics and mathematics (and computing, as an intersection of the two).

Good science is actually pretty easy to explain most of the time. It may take a long time to become a domain expert thst can perform novel research in a field but it it's well within the understanding of most people to have a single topic explained to them by an expert.

In fact, that very thing happens in courtrooms all the time.

Your condescending attitude is why people don't trust authorities and with good reason. If you can't help people understand science, it's you that doesn't understand it.

Furthermore, I hope you realize how close your "self-evident" logic is to a lot of extremely gross and genocidal ideologies of the past and present.
