There is a common anecdote about the divide between what is considered the truth in science and religion: An evolutionary biologist and a creationist are in a debate. The moderator asks what would need to happen for them to abandon their beliefs. The evolutionary biologist lists the main pillars of the evolution theory and the formation of life, and that if they are disproved or found contradictory in a credible and replicable way, backed up by other scholars in the field, then they would have no choice but to accept that they were wrong. The creationist simply says “nothing, I know in my heart that it’s the truth because God is all powerful and would never lie to me.”
Hence the paradoxical challenge
