" What amount of evidence would convince you that you are wrong? For the truthers, moon-landing hoaxers, and extremists on both sides of any issue, the answer is simple: nothing. When no amount of evidence can convince you that your worldview might be inaccurate, then we’ve exited the realm of reason and entered religious territory. This is why I laugh at the notion of reconciling faith and science. Science is based on the premise that logic and reason can tell us the true nature of reality. Religion is based on the idea that when logic and reason don’t support a predetermined view of reality, they are at fault. "
