Depends.
What is the new idea? What hypothesis did they put forth? What observations were made? What data was collected? What experiments were run? What results did they get? Did they then repeat all this over and over? Did they build a working model from the data? Did they make further predictions? Is there concordance? Is there convergence?
Those are the things I will take into consideration when I choose whether or not to "believe" a scientist.

Do you mean that all people you had the chance to meet have enough time to check personally every story, said scientific, they didn't mind to accept and believe?
Truth be said, I focused on scientists to avoid flaming the comments more than they are supposed to be. Could you imagine what will happen if I will also talk about how millions of people believe in their trusted investigators, journalists, non-religious leaders, for a few.
For example, how many people in the world, as I, know that a modern tower cannot be scrolled down completely in less than a minute just by fire? About 15 years ago, even some professional/expert Americans were surprised how I, living too far from America, told them about things for which they had already solid proofs. But they had to keep the truth for themselves because they have families to take care of. I guess you know what I am talking about. In case I am wrong, the world will witness the new method that can destroy completely old towers just by fire if located properly inside the buildings instead of the old conventional complex and costly one. Anyway, thanks to this scientific story approved by all political systems in the world, without even one exception, the high class (around the world) was able investing trillions of dollars in Terrorism (that replaced Communism in less than 24 hours) against men on bottom (in millions; civilians and their various national forces).

In brief, the fake political stories, mainly if made in the name of science, have, on these days, strong effects on people's mind and their life much stronger than the religious ones have. For example, in reality, there are no conflicts among religions, in Middle East in the least; unless Judaism, Christianity and Islam have been joined to form one religion behind my back lately. I mean; one can enjoy this great union (solidarity) at the borders of Jordan (where Christian military officers are training the Islamist groups) and Israel (where many good Jews take care of their injured Islamist brothers). After all, an international noble cause joined these Christian, Jew and Islamist heroes. Could you guess it from where you live Wink
