When you say you will take the 97:3 odds, you are admitting that it is not fact, but opinion.

That's statistics, not opinion.

Not really. It is your opinion that the 97 % has got the theory right. It is my opinion that they still have a way to go. But all opinion.

No, you're making the same mistake that the deniers make. You're
saying that fewer than 1 in 30 scientists are as likely to be right as
the 29 who say they're wrong.
That's irrational. It's not a matter of opinion, it's a matter of
using your head.
