It can be paired down to one thing: the scientific method. When you exclude all human variables, including politics and errors and mistakes, the question is do you trust the scientific method? Most people don’t understand that even with all these variables removed there is a flaw in the scientific method that is the origin of most of these misunderstandings in science. In science and therefore in reality as we know it, we cannot prove anything to be true. No claim made by any scientist has actually been proven. Scientists can only attempt to falsify things. At best, after many attempts at falsifying something we can say that a theory might be true, we can never prove it to be true.
