Just to amplify what Pacificwhim has said, I suggest that Venom - or anybody really - try a thought experiment in which they imagine being exposed to overwhelming evidence that the opposing 'side' of this debate was right after all!
Would any of us say "ho hum, so we were wrong" - at the very least, we would go round for a day or two trying to integrate our new understanding of reality into the rest of our ideas!
