Trusting the expertise of scientists is no different than trusting the expertise of an auto mechanic.

I would not bring my vehicle to a mechanic whose only credential is a claim to authority:

"I have never repaired a car before but I have a book that tells me everything I need to know."

I would not trust this mechanic. Especially if the book was written in 1949.
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!
