nonrefutable
Beyond all argument
Nonrefutable describes something that cannot be disproved or contradicted.
A nonrefutable claim resists challenge—sometimes because it's airtight, sometimes because it's framed in a way that excludes counterevidence.
In philosophy of science, a nonrefutable hypothesis is one that can't be tested and therefore falls outside scientific inquiry: His theory was nonrefutable, which made it useless as science.
