It's a tricky thing. There is a lot of high quality science. There is some lower quality science -- outright fraud even, unfortunately. And then there is science reporting, which is all over the map, and can easily be misinterpreted.
Humanity has built up an enormous amount of legitimate scientific knowledge and understanding. There has been much difficulty, confusion, and dead-ends along the way -- and it seems this continues to be the case. But it really is an incredible thing, how much we know at this point. It took me a long time and a lot of self-learning to develop a rich appreciation for this.
Of course, there is still much for us to figure out. And we should keep doing so, difficulties be damned (and hopefully mitigated over time).
