Why is it weird? It requires an open and trustful way of thinking. The same that lets me believe in global warming. I just think the outcome of subcribing to that ideology has good outcomes for me and my family, and I accept there are events beyond my reach and understanding, and that I cannot do much about it.

Because Occam's razor is clear. I successfully grow flowers on my balcony and my verification and peer review of temperature is not alarming. It's hard to make a living as a scientist, and journals need sensationalism, so of course people in their 30s+ would show me numbers that fit the agenda. From logical thinking the deduction is there is no global warming, but I do believe there is in some parts of the world, and we'd best do something about it.

Same thing goes for what ancient civilisations believed within the concept of their lifestyles.
