It is human nature to trust and follow authorities. The ideals of science and democracy are modern, and to some extent foreign to our nature.
Many people would rather trust and follow obediently than do the hard work of thinking. This is true of both mainstream believers and conspiracy theory believers.
To maintain science and democracy, we have to fight human nature. Probably a lost cause.
