:Generally when someone refuses to accept scientific findings, it's because there is some ulterior motive such as the desire to maintain faith in some philosophical or theological idea; or the desire to achieve a certain political or economic goal. It could even be sheer intransigence.
:My great-grandfather [[Charles Lane Poor]] initially opposed Einstein's theory, primarily on the grounds that Newton's ideas accounted for the starlight shifts just as well as Einstein's. His initial reactions are well-publicized, but I wonder what he thought later on in life as more evidence accumulated. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 11:12, 29 February 2016 (EST)
