As I see people online mock the Boomers (rightly so in my opinion) for not being able to change their worldview despite ample evidence they are wrong... I wonder if in 20 years I'll be in the same boat as a Gen X'er.

Science these days seems to only change depending on pronouncements from the Cathedral.
You & I believe in science, where scientific method is followed & hypotheses R tested against evidence. What U described is "science"; that's worse than accepting some flawed doctrine.
In God we trust; for all others, trust but verify.
