I see no reason to not to be skeptical of scientific findings.
Its easy to be skeptical of information if you already established a biased against that information which you see quite often with coreligionists, one needs to honestly and deeply investigate all the of acquired information, for example the earth's geological evolution, to fully understand what has been discovered and accepted as fact..
If one accepts that the ancients had little knowledge of the world in which they lived and we can identify their ignorance, would it not be more appropriate to be skeptical to what the ancients said or expressed inherently to themselves ?
