Reject 'mainstream' and accept the 'alternative' - The 'let's reject everything we don't like/that doesn't align with our belief system' seems to parallel religion. No system is perfect. There are possibilities for errors and limitations in science. we have to learn to be good consumers of scientific research and to be able to assess the rigor of the research to understand how valid or useful a research is. Then we can keep improving scientific understanding.
