So, can you cite any scientific evidence that climate change is man-made, or that vaccine cause autism; or that eating GMO foods causes harm to your health?

People process evidence differently when they think with a factual mind-set rather than with a religious mind-set. Even what they count as evidence is different. And they are motivated differently, based on what they conclude. On what grounds do scholars make such claims?
