The analogy would be for a conspiracy nut-case to proclaim (on a
soapbox at noontime on a cloudless day) that there is no sun and that
assertions to the contrary are simply a ploy by a colluding clique of
astronomers to boondoggle the public into supporting solar energy
(which, according to the conspiracy theorist, would then actually be a
secret programme to install 2-ways microwave sensors and transmitters
throughout the land to control the public's brainwaves, since there
would be no sun for the solar energy to be solar of)..

Bringing in up conspiracy theory nonsense as the last resort to your
argument is like calling people who do not believe in your God as
conspiracy nut-cases. It is a total faith issue which should not be
part of a scientific discussion, but it is. That really tell you
something about these desperate zealous.
