Why do some of those who believe in a god refuse to consider the possibility they could be wrong?

A flat earther is in denial. There is massive evidence that the earth is NOT flat, but the flat earther refuses to acknowledge that. A scientist who does not “consider the possibility that an established theory could be wrong” does so because all the evidence 1) says the theory is correct and 2) there is no conceivable evidence that could show it to be wrong. All the conceivable tests have been done.

Established theories have been tested again and again and again in attempts to prove that they are wrong. Each time, they have failed to be proven wrong. Let’s face it, if a theory is true, it will never be shown to be wrong, will it? At some point we run out of possible tests that could show a theory to be wrong. What possible evidence could there be that would show DNA does not exist in a double helix? What possible evidence could there be to show that the earth is not round? So, should we “consider the possibility” that these 2 theories “could be wrong”? Why?

The claim that a scientist should always consider the possibility that an established theory could be wrong is brought up by people, who for reasons outside of science, do not like a particular theory and emotionally want it to be wrong. Maybe the reason is economic. Or the consequences of the theory are inconvenient. Or there is a religious reason.

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

Flat earth is a falsified theory. It has already been shown to be wrong.
