Perhaps, you might get beyond the desire to prove something wrong, and instead look for what is true?
The problem lies in Weltanschauung, (or worldview in English). Everyone has one, and it overrules our perception of the universe.
Just for a taste, these are excepts from Dr. John MacArthur's book "Thinking Biblically". and sum it up fairly well;

Just for a taste, these are excepts from Dr. John MacArthur's book "Thinking Biblically". and sum it up fairly well;
Quote:What is a worldview? A worldview comprises one's collection of presuppositions, convictions and values from which a person tries to understand and make sense out of the world and life. “A worldview is a conceptual scheme by which we consciously or unconsciously place or fit everything we believe and by which we interpret and judge reality. “A worldview is, first of all, an explanation and interpretation of the world and second, an application of this view to life.”and
Quote:How does one form a worldview? Where does one begin? Every worldview starts with presuppositions-i.e., beliefs that one presumes to be true without supporting independent evidence from other sources or systems. Interpreting reality, in part or in whole, requires that one adopt an interpretative stance since there is no “neutral” thought in the universe. This becomes the foundation upon which one builds.
