But what makes this a fact?

Since science comes to conclusions based on the evidence, existing only in science is a positive comment.
You didn't answer my question. What if that conclusion exists in Science?

All the evidence required to disabuse someone of their religious beliefs is available from a number of sources. If you have decided beforehand that it would be impossible to alter your opinions, then you aren't approaching the evidence with an open mind, and by doing that you're assuring the failure of it convincing you. That's not a problem with the evidence but with its reception.
Yet it is never true, so the evidence does not assist in any format based on either user, since the one giving the "evidence" is simply misguided.
