You have to prove yourself wrong. Someone else may present you with the evidence, but the end decision is and will always be yours.
Others try to tell me my "god" isn't true by virtue of the bible and ridicule. I have my own reasons and logic for believing and they are nothing like anyone else's.
And you don't have to believe something just because there's no contradictory evidence, but to exclude something based on that logic is false and goes directly against the scientific method.
I remember being taught as a child about different species and extinction. I was told that after the dodo bird, the only other animal to reach extinction was the Blue Whale. Carneigie museum even had an entire section devoted to this "fact". People didn't see them, so they didn't exist anymore... How wrong they were...
