Intelligent Design (brief overview).

I dont care about that peer journalism bullshit 

There is no reason to trust any authority in this time where humans are ruled by deceivers

I know what you mean by scientific authority but science does not actually do authority

Science is fundamentally the study of observable phenomena. And it tries to understand both the properties and capabilities of such phenomena through the employment of the scientific method. This is the
most brutal and uncompromising methodology ever devised. It is like that because it is the best way to determine the validity of any testable hypothesis. In science all reputation counts for precisely nothing because it is not remotely interested in that. That is a human concern not a scientific one. It is important here not to confuse science and scientists. Scientists are human and so prone to error and bias even
if unintentional. But science itself is not prone to error or bias for it is only interested in objective truth and nothing else so has no hierarchy or structure as such. It just has a methodology that when applied with absolute rigour can be employed by anyone. Scientist and non scientist alike. And science has absolutely no bias with regard to scientific knowledge because all of it is devoid of subjective interpretation
That is a concern for scientists and humans in general but not science itself. As a discipline it is entirely morally and philosophically neutral

When you say I see it clear as daylight you are referencing an argument from ignorance and invoking Dunning Kruger because you are allowing your subjective interpretation
and lack of relevant knowledge to influence your thinking. What you really mean is that you think you see it clear as daylight but thinking and knowing are not the same thing

Peer review is one of the components of the scientific method. This means it is as far removed from bullshit as it is possible to be. It exists so that specialists in a particular field or branch of science
can critically review the work of other specialists in the same field or branch and eliminate or minimise any bias they may find. You may not care for it but calling it bullshit is the height of ignorance

You say that There is no reason to trust any authority but once again science is a methodology not an authority. It has absolutely no interest in authority. That is a human concern not a scientific one
A MIND IS LIKE A PARACHUTE : IT DOES NOT WORK UNLESS IT IS OPEN
