The beat goes on

Why might we be afraid of anyone challenging our idea of truth? I think of Copernicus:

Copernicus was a Polish astronomer and mathematician who was a proponent of the view of an Earth in daily motion about its axis and in yearly motion around a stationary sun. This theory profoundly altered later workers' view of the universe, but was rejected by the Catholic church.

But nevertheless, truth prevailed.

Jesus never worried about proving His deity to the religious leaders of the day who constantly asked Him to show signs or something to prove His claims.

Am I scared of someone proving me wrong? Truth cannot be overturned. Perhaps I actually don't believe that which is true. How can we know?
