Science today seeks less truth than affirmation. Just as folks were burned or killed or mock with radical ideas of the earth being ROUND, ANY...and I mean ANY evidence that the party-line isn't followed will result in scoffs and branding-a-fool.
Tearing at the heart of the 'millions and billions?' of years of evolution is this: Nothing in our biological systems would have maintained if not beneficial to the organism. We tout the education of 'experts' - who aren't taught truth-seeking; they are taught based on the preconceptions of professors - taught based on ideology.

“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.
