That's a fallacious argument, it's called appeal to authority. Scientists are no more likely to be correct than anyone else, and in fact because they are pressured by group speak and other social factors more than the individual is, especially in today's religious scientific climate, they are more likely to not accept newer more correct ideas... and to stay with the old erroneous established notions.

There are two really important scientific lines of enquiry rght now. The origin of the universe, and the origin of life. Do you really think that every scientist blindly accepts either? There are so many competing theories to both that it's almost embarassing.
The first serious explanation that accounts for what we observe, and discounts the main theories, will guarantee a Nobel prize. and the million dollar cheque that goes with it.
Science is competative. Always has been, always will be. Major scientific theories don't stand because of apathy, but because they're yet to be superseeded. Evolution, inflationary big bang, quantum mechanics, and even mental health thories stand because they can't be best, not because everyone agrees with them.

Unfortunately, most of what you said is nice banter but untrue.
Notice what you said here, the origin of the Universe and the Origin of life. These aren't scientific endeavors, they are philosophical endeavors. YOU CANNOT find ANYTHING to prove the origin of the universe or of life.
Anything at all that tries to relate the truth of the origin of life and the universe is based almost ENTIRELY on belief.
I don't feel like going into a two hour lecture on why that is, and with anything less you'd undoubtedly try to bring up supposed evidences that back it up but they aren't evidences, they are contrivances from current observations that couldn't possibly support origins of the universe OR life that purportedly happened so long ago that ANYTHING measured today would be unmeasurable and incomparable to the time frames referenced.
Science can barely predict the weather three days out with the most sophisticated computers on the planet at their disposal, but the modern paradigms would like us to believe that they can project backward billions of years with accuracy... pppaaahhhh!!!! that is so laughable I about piss myself when anyone mentions it...
