Like any student, I did basic chemistry and physics and we tested various claims in the lab. Nobody personally tests all claims, even professional scientists have to accept some prior claims until they have some reason to believe they're incorrect. Trust is necessary for science to extend beyond the efforts of an individual, but trust isn't the same thing as faith.
