Your statement totally contradicts the scientific method. For instance, people believe that vaccines are some toxic substances that float around in your body for ages. The fact is, vaccines are modified antibodies, viruses or viral particles that are removed from the bloodstream by the spleen in fairly short order. Thats a HUGE difference. Also you seem to suggest that a belief that the world is only 6,000 years old is the same as the scientific knowledge of actual age. No.
Discerning FACT from OPINION is what SCIENCE is all about after all.
