incontrovertible
Impossible to refute
Incontrovertible describes something that cannot be disputed or denied—evidence, facts, or arguments so solid that no reasonable counterargument exists: The DNA evidence was incontrovertible.
The word carries more weight than simply "true" or "certain," implying that challenge would be futile: an incontrovertible case for reform.
