OP. There is a humility in you, and yet as the Beatles sang in the opening line of their song: The Walrus - "I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together." When you listen to the whole song, it is very satirical, but that opening line identifies so much.

When people insist that what happened right before your eyes "never happened" (what an odious expression) you know that some people find truth inconvenient. Those people can continue their lives without me in it, now that they have stunned me into silence with their effrontery. Truth happens in lifetimes, billions of years is merely a scientific measure.
