"Wouldn't it make sense to listen to someone who knows better?"
Well, I usually do. These people are called 'scientists' , such as say Brian Cox, and the odd philosopher. I've actually found one here, and it ain't Bela.
I also listen to the teacher when I'm doing a course.I have even changed my opinion about a few things because of arguments made by some of the saner members here.
If you mean religious authority figures, I've never actually run across one who 'knows' anything. They make a great many claims they can't prove, and promises they cannot keep. Like your good self, they seem to have not yet learned to tell the difference between "knowledge' and " belief."
The claims of religious believers are less credible than those of the "Aliens are among us" brigade ,and they have no credibility..
