You're right. It is technically always possible for an idea to be fact regardless of what conclusion logic and reason makes us arrive at. But using logic to determine probability is different. It is how a rational person develops their opinions (most of the time, at least). It is why I am an atheist- I do not claim that it is impossible for a deity to exist, I just realize that it is extremely improbable and that I am better off as an atheist.
I have always argued with Theists that very point that I can understand why Athiest's can logically hold their view and we have to accept that but it doesn't mean we can't change their mind maybe not on a collective level but maybe at an individual level. And it does'nt mean that Theist are devoid of intelligence or logic to reach their position unless you take it as default that logic is the ultimate tool of the intellect and ultimately the only arbiter of truth.
