you can disprove a theory but you can't prove one.

And you can neither prove nor disprove a belief.

Well, you can sometimes disprove the basis of a belief but in the end the believer can ignore the facts if they choose.

For example some people still believe the earth is flat or that the earth is the center of the solar system or the center of the universe. There is clear evidence that disprove these but people can believe any way.
