    they think it should be revelatory, like the ten commandments…

    Since you brought it up, it’s worthwhile that most Abrahamic churches include common folk arguing about the nitty gritty of what scripture means, what are the consequences of those meanings, and how to account for those consequences in their daily life.

    Which is kinda exactly how we should treat scientific studies.

      Yup, a little skepticism is healthy. But that doesn’t mean you should actually assume that everyone is a liar and you should only listen to “alternative” sources.

        I assume that everyone trying to assert anything could be wrong, and if I do not know their process or track record, I work from the position that they are wrong.

        I do not assume lies, since mostly they are simply wrong without malice. They may have believed someone else’s lie, though, especially if there is money to be gained.
