I agree with what you say in general, but...

One of the problems today for me is that most people is skeptic because they cannot understand the answer to the question they ask.

Sooner or later I have to rely on an expert in most areas of science. Which would be fine for me if I could trust that the expert actually answers in his expert opinion and not because he was bought to give a certain answer.

Schooling is mandatory up to a certain level in my country. I'm going to pull dates out of my ass, because I'm too lazy to compare them to what you actually learn in school, but the level of math for the average person is probably 19th century of science, as well for chemistry and physics, with some basic knowledge about stuff from the 20th century.

Most people are not equipped with the tools to understand most of modern day science. They approach it with opinions based on feelings or what their random favorite actor/actress or singer thinks. And we cannot expect them to be equipped with the right tools either.

Reality doesn't change even if people deny it, but is science as a field really resistant if most people just flat out deny science, especially if politicians starts doing it and deny funding due to it?
