Hmmmm...
The problem is the difference in believe and believe.
If 97% of the people do not believe (subconscious) that aliens exist, then we will never encounter any aliens. Even if 3% of the people had actual first hand experiences. The aliens could walk among us, and no one would see them, no one would interact with them.
All of the vocal, only matter exists, scientists say that people experiencing angels is just a case of delusion. However, more than just a few have had encounters with angels. And by many statements of people who have seen, there are at least three angels for every person on the planet.
Many people believe they are poor. However, in The US, even the poor have a living standard higher than most of the rest of the world.
Belief is a difficult word.
And, here is one more:
A while ago, someone discovered cold fusion.
Now, humanity had a choice, to accept this technology or discard it.
So... MIT came out and said that it didn't work, and so... it didn't work.
Not because it didn't work in the first place.

Those are not scientists.
Science does not prove things don't exist.
It only can work with what it can observe. If they have not found a way to observe it then it can prove nothing.
So while a lot of so-called scientists claim something doesn't exist because they have seen no evidence of it, that is not how science works.
The scientific method only applies to observable, and repeatable data.
:)
A lot of appeal to authority fallacy actions impact us when we buy into a "scientist" telling us what doesn't exist.

If a thing is false, no matter how many people believe its true it's still is false.
