What often helps is to remember/ realize that apparent aggression may actually be a symptom of fear (conscious or unconscious). Your husband/ wife who appears to be uncharacteristically unkind and insensitive may simply be terrified.
The remedy - sometimes - is to understand that they are afraid and to make allowances. Fighting and arguing over the 'facts' usually won't resolve anything.
A hug might - as also might listening to their real concerns.
Very best to all - Bill

I like to have scientific papers handy. Since many in modern times ascribe to the scientific cult, showing them some "holy papers" that state that it isn't wierd or supernatural can help allay fears.
