The universe is like people. They both behave in unreasonable ways but humans try at all cost to explain things. And the better you can act seriously and therefore convince people, the more anything will be accepted and considered normal. The church only apologised a few years ago about being wrong that the sun turned around the world.

The thing is that scientists don't mind being wrong, they don't like being wrong but they know it comes with the territory.

Governments and religional institutions won't admit that they are wrong because they see that as a failure (which it is) and they will lose supporters (which will happen as a result).

Evolution exists, it's a logical natural development at least on our planet.

Whether our earthly-based knowledge of the laws of physics are applicable everywhere else in space, I wouldn't know. Perhaps but as space is so big and we know so little, we should stay open-minded for very big surprises.
