How much science should we expect other people to understand?

Well … sure. If that’s all faith is to you … trusting your eyes to tell you the truth most of the time, then everybody operates on that level of faith. We all have faith that we aren’t just having a dream and that there actually is a reality outside ourselves to explore. And others are experiencing that reality the same way … as in … we all bump up against the same sorts of things which gives us a whole lot of confidence that those are very real things to bump into and measure. You can insist it’s all just in your head or my head if you want to, but assuming there are real facts out there to collectively discover together has served science really, really well. Denials of those same things can and does get people killed.
