-We don't really know what is at the center of a black hole so we say its a singularity.
Scientists consider that to be true because that is a statement that has not been proven wrong yet. Show them evidence that there isn't a singularity in the center of a black hole and you will convince them to change their minds.
If you ask a scientist what a singularity is they will tell you its a mathematical phenomenon based upon the absentia of a physical theorem for quantum gravitation, and not a real physical actuality. In other words...they will tell you they don't really know what it is. "Singularity" is just a phrase/word for ignorance.....just like "God works in mysterious ways".
