I have begun to wonder whether the internet can be hindering the
process. There is a feeling that we dont need to learn stuff because
it is all there on the internet. However I wonder whether the creative
process can only really happen when we get the stuff inside our heads so
that our subconcious can get to work on it and combine it together in
new and surprising ways (You can access the internet when you are
dreaming, or at least not yet). That means good old fashioned learning
things is still nedeed as a 'hard-work' precursor to creativity.

One can study theology at university, but I don't see this as a
proof of God's existence.
There is no confirmation of the Pons and Fleischmann result
published in a serious journal.
Even if your conspiracy theory is true and the establishment
boycotts cold fusion, why not just set up a power company and sell
the energy? Because it doesn't work.
