Reject = dismiss as inadequate
Considering the evidence of anything and dismissing it as inadequate for a conclusion is itself an assertion.
Rubbish.
There is no assertion required by not being convinced by the evidence provided for a claim.
If I am a juror in a case where I feel the prosecution has not met their burden of proof, in order for me to vote guilty, I am not making an assertion that I feel the accused is innocent.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
