Default The fact that we don't know that much

I suspect you observe "people in science" believing you don't know
****. And interpret this as meaning they think they know a lot.
Science is the process of discovering and verifying new things. If we
knew everything, then there'd be no point in science, ergo, scientists
are the ones most aware of how much we don't know.
But the good thing about science is that what it knows is generally
true, or true within it's declared error margins. It's not the "one
truth". It's not a cosmic answer. It just is.
When/if we get to a million years of modern science, I expect we'll
know more. And laugh at idiots like you even more.
