You seem to be treading on thin ice here: espousing things that are cracks in the plaster of ... what I think you think ... is a common-sense-ish scientific body of knowledge that most people instill which has displaced a space once occupied by religion.
But you do this having a weak grasp on the very concepts for which you claim inconsistencies or inadequacies, sprinkled with a dash of anti-intellectual falsehoods/misinformation.
This is probably why you got downmodded, not that you didn't have a larger point with showing how common beliefs are common beliefs, whether they be from science, rhetoric, cultural tradition, or religion; and that media or governments (or other institutions representing the "will of the people") often color the inquiry that can ultimately shape and theoretically improve these commonly held beliefs.
