Therefore, it is inaccurate to say that science has "debunked" either a belief in the Noah flood or a 6,000 year old universe.

Can a belief ever be "debunked" by anything since beliefs only exist in mind?

IMHO, those who value their own sensory perception and reasoning above their beliefs are subject to having their beliefs "debunked."

But that is the very weakest form of belief - like doubting Thomas demanding to thrust his hands in Christ's wounds before he would believe.

The beliefs of others cannot be shaken by anything at all.

Can the belief that the U.S. government planned the 9/11 attacks be debunked, if everything exists only in your mind?
