<<<The point is, I will never understand the problem at the level scientists do. And I doubt many shouting DOOM! or HOAX! do either. >>>

Do you understand the theory of relativity?

Or even on a simpler level, do you understand the mathematics that took us into space or even the software that produced the Internet?

The point is, when the overwhelming majority of people who understand it and agree on it, the chances are pretty good that it is real.

For those of us who don't understand it, the prudent course to take is not to shout stuff as if we knew what we are talking about. We can't go around and call things a hoax just because we don't understand it.
