And many more see it as just an illusion. It's not for nothing that religious adherence is negatively correlated with education. The ability to explain the seemingly unexplainable is a powerful tool for deconversion, if only because more people use the fallacious reasoning in the first place.

But as leo-rcc said, appeals to authority are fallacious. Even geniuses get things wrong (Newton and alchemy, Einstein and quantum mechanics, Hawking and the famous bet, etc).
