Is it really true?

If it is and you can't say so without risking your life, tell him the data is unclear. ( that can very true!)
His and the courts (incl media) share a holy sacred view of the clouds in which science talkers ( that doesn't mean they are scientists at all!) reside. The whole world may know that its true but you can get the whole church( incl- abcchurch) to sit quiet and forget about the possibility of knowledge without research long enough for their interest in "the truth " to go off the boil.
