That's true of anything. If someone has decided to believe something is non-falsifiable, then no amount of logical argumentation will make a difference.
Incidentally, this is where the "science" of climate change has come. Quotes like "the matter is settled ... it is now merely a question of what we do about it" float around like confetti. Of course the science is not at all settled:
- That the earth has warmed over the last century may be true enough.
- Whether the change is anything abnormal within the context of normal historical cycles is almost never discussed
- Whether the change is in fact due to human activity is a wide open question, despite "scientists" hoping desperately to make it a settled matter.
- Whether any proposed method of correction will actually do anything is an even more wide open question.
