There are, we are reliably informed, two main classes of people in the world.
One is wise, intelligent, logical, informed, firmly grounded in reality. The other is foolish, stupid, illogical, ignorant, fantastical.
One believes in things for which he has one evidence other than the assertions of authority figures and statements on the printed page, accepted as authoritative.
The other - well, it is the same. From time to time the dictates and dictators of fashion switch around which is wise and which is foolish.
Which type of person made you reliably informed?
