You mean legitimate and relevant points?

Non-falsifiable claims are the logical equivalent of magic armor. It's impossible to speak to confirmation bias.

edit:
For each accepted explanation of a phenomenon, there may be an extremely large, perhaps even incomprehensible, number of possible and more complex alternatives, because one can always burden failing explanations with ad hoc hypotheses to prevent them from being falsified; therefore, simpler theories are preferable to more complex ones because they are more testable.

Literally, talking with some of the people in this thread is like trying to inform someone gravity does in fact exist. No amount of evidence provided is satisfactory because it's all, "yeah, but, magically invisible hands are what's responsible."
