None, but that is the rub though. If there is evidence to support why refuse to believe?

The scientifc meathod is the most relibable process to understand the world we live in. In addition the scientists or researches who put their theories out there will have them challenged for vaidity by other academics in their field to test and validate the robustness of the idea and the evidence (data) presented to support it.

It doesn't matter if don't like it (which what I think refuse to believe often means). it went through the washing machine of the scientific meathod, of

observe / research / hypothesis / test / analyze data/ report conclusion, then was challenged by other experts in that field it probably got some teeth to it.

On a sidenote that isn't as relevant I think Dr Karl Popper',s theory of fasliblity I think is one of best thought ideas in modern history for this specific reason the idea of challenging the observatations and data recieved is the key to validating it. Actually that and I wish other people on here thought philosophy is cool on this forum.

Whoever pays for the evidence to be produced is 75% of the time supported, 20% of the time a neutral return is achieved and 5% of the time a negative result.
He who pays the piper calls the tune.
