It's a trust thing

The thing about Science is that whether you believe in it or trust it or not, it's findings are still valid provided they are based on evidence.

"You are entitled to your opinion. But you are not entitled to your own facts" as Daniel Patrick Moynihan said. 

In Associated Press article from 1946. Bernard Baruch was quoted when he complained about an opponent’s assertions which he believed were inaccurate.

"Every man has the right to an opinion but no man has a right to be wrong in his facts. Nor, above all, to persist in errors as to facts."

In December 1975 U.S. Secretary of Defense James R. Schlesinger employed an instance of the saying containing the phrase “not entitled to his own facts”

Schlesinger responded by saying that there should be a debate about the facts. He said he thought the greatest problem was self-deception.

“Everybody is entitled to his own views,” Schlesinger said. “Everybody is not entitled to his own facts.”

In 1983 U.S Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan was a member of the National Commission on Social Security Reform. He employed the saying within an op-ed piece in the “Washington Post”

There is a center in American politics. It can govern. The commission is just an example of what can be done. First, get your facts straight. Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts. Second, decide to live with the facts. Third, resolve to surmount them. Because, fourth, what is at stake is our capacity to govern.

In 1984 Moynihan used a version of the saying again, but this time he credited economist Alan Greenspan

During the commission’s deliberations, Alan Greenspan, our chairman and former chairman of the president’s Council of Economic Advisers, imposed a simple but crucial rule: Members were entitled to their own opinions, but not to their own facts.
