Personal experience:
The most trustworthy information comes from what we have experience in the past. Things that we learn by experiencing it is always better than things that are told to us. So, we accept claims that we know it true from our experience and reject claims that we know is false from our experiences as well. However, there are some exceptions. Our memories are not written in stones, so we might forget something and have the reasons to doubt our own memories. Another possibilities happen when we might have some memories that prove the claims to be false or there are good theories to prove that the claims are false.
Other resources:
There are other resources other than our memories. Some of the other resources can be acceptable.
1. If the claims are by someone who has good knowledge authority) on this kind of claims.
2. If the claim comes from an expert from this field and have no motive to mislead anyone
3. Articles or researches that are published in a respectable journal or refences
4. From media that is reliable who has no motive to give the wrong information and named the original source.
