We can't prove in a way that they would believe.

100%. I watched a video on TFE where there was a minister guy saying the Earth is flat because the bible says so and that any evidence to the contrary is manufactured by (literally) Satan and the US government and that they may not be able to prove it one way or the other, but they have to have faith in the word of God.

There's literally nothing you can say to that.

Why do we need to convince them in the first place? I see them as the equivalent of internet trolls, they know they’re wrong and half the fun is moving the goalposts.

I remember when some of them tried to prove it was flat, and ended up proving it was round.

Well, this is a simulation. All observations and measurements can and will be falsified by the designers of the simulator. What can ya do?
