It's good to be skeptical and keep an open mind on stuff even when there's a well accepted “truth”. But on the flip hand you should be cautious not to let it evolve into anti-intellectualism and complete mistrust in scientific output (especially because calls to common sense are a very common manipulation tactics).

Science is a social thing, and as such it's far from an ethereal ideal of knowledge production. But at the same time, it's the best tool we have by far…

Have a nice day.
