(20,709 posts)The JFK assassination is no more a matter of trust than global warming or evolution. Almost no DUers are even close to qualified to judge the scientific evidence on their own. Instead, they trust that the fact that the overwhelming majority of scientists who study the topic aren't part of some conspiracy to overturn capitalism, even the ones who participate in UN or US Government panels. They trust, implicitly at least, the scientific peer review process to weed out legitimate science from bogus speculation.
The JFK assassination, in fact, requires much less trust than global warming, because enough evidence to convince any reasonable person well beyond reasonable doubt is already out there, and doesn't require any advanced scientific knowledge, statistical mastery, or understanding of computer simulations to interpret.
