That's the primary strength of the Scientific Method.
Sometimes; other times, they where just junk to begin with.... and sometimes they are junk on purpose to point out the flaws in peer review. Politics and bias plays a role, as well of the current orthodoxy. Or it could just be the format of your work. The disillusionment over peer review seems to be dropping ;however, and some publications are better than others. But I don't automatically accept or reject something just because of peer review publication (it's not the demarcation of science).
I don't operate on blind faith of the peer review process.
But, you possess blind faith in a religion for which there is no evidence.
