Do humans always accept proofs when presented to them?

I've heard it many times. I've also heard many times people giving the notion that if Atheists were presented with proofs, they would believe.

That's because proof is undeniable. It leaves no room for doubt, at least reasonable doubt. Proof would defeat all opposition. Manage to prove this stuff and of course we would have no choice but to believe; except inasmuch as belief would be superceded by knowledge. The best you can offer is evidence, which demands examination and dissection. This is the seemingly insurmountable sticking point for the theistic position; because everything presented as evidence, if it ever is, never survives the scrutiny, and all you have left are logical acrobatics and other similar dishonest tactics. Which ought to be a major clue, because you never have to resort to such tricks to convince people of any other thing - even a rock.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
