MIT researchers 'infiltrated' a Covid skeptics community a few months ago and found that skeptics place a high premium on data analysis and empiricism. "Most fundamentally, the groups we studied believe that science is a process, and not an institution."

~You can't form an opinion on something you haven't investigated.

You cannot "contribute" without having done proper research into the subject, maybe on a small little case? sure, you could give some common sense advice, but on a whole? for example in terms of Viruses? Vaccines? Medicine? Come on, it takes years of research to be able to understand the whole process behind it.

Let's just go to the basics, common sense would tell you that the universe would've had to originate from somewhere, right? except that if you understand the subject, you would know about antimatter and how it allows for matter to exist, take matter as a 1 and antimatter as a -1, both equal 0, meaning that nothing was truly created out of nothing.

So do you honestly expect anyone who hasn't researched into the topic to know this? to even be able to somewhat contribute into a conversation of where things started? no, they automatically resort to "God", and if you question them further into who created "God" (since creation in their minds means that everything appeared from somewhere else), they malfunction and resort to "no one".
