Blatant facts can also be rejected. There are multiple ways to dismiss actual facts.

Thomas is an example. The fact was Jesus did rise from the dead, and that the others saw Him. Thomas dismissed those facts. Via rationalization and rejecting the language, the presenter, the way it’s presented, the methodology, how the facts were obtained, etc you can reject facts a whole host of ways.

I thought the ideas of logic and reason were formulated so that facts, regardless of their presentation or method of revelation, were identified and accepted.

Isn’t it these same ideas of logic and reason that atheists pride themselves on being masters of? Why then would an atheist deny blatant facts and logical conclusions?
