Science is a method to build a model. A map of reality based on inductive reasoning. "Trust" is not a word I'd use. The map is not the territory.
I forget where I first read about it, but the geocentric model of the solar system, with the sun and planets orbiting the earth and moving around in little circles as they did is mocked these days. It's not how things really are, hahaha. But the part everyone leaves out is that it worked. It could accurately predict where the planets would appear in the sky fairly far into the future. Should people trust it? Well, you could trust it to tell you where to look in the sky for Jupiter in six months. Try sending a probe and it will fail spectacularly.
Science is a tool, much like a hammer. Use it with care and skill and you can build great things. Use it for gay sex you can be Paul pelosi.
I never understood why smart people couldn’t see through the whole trust the science push?
You can make a spreadsheet say anything you want it to say.
