Research is based on the so-called scientific method (therefore science) and that is something you can't proof, just belief in. But it's the best we have with extraordinary amount of evidence to back it up.

There was this guy who spent his whole life in rural Arizona. All evidence indicated that the world is made of sand.

Never discount errors of perspective.

If you consider something that all scientists do then you might see a vast shared error.

It was evident that the world was bigger than what the guy saw, he was just not checking (lazy or insatiable or whatever) what's further. There is the difference.
