Skeptics might be jumping to conclusions

This is exactly what the detractors latch on to, as evidenced in the OP. The motto of the Royal Society is: Nullius in verba. "Take nobody's word for it!"
It's a one size fit's all statement but it just works bitches.
I stand by my comment.
To me I will always accept solid evidence for anything. However the starting point for any paranormal claim or religious claim, is nope. I will never give any of these claims the benefit of any doubt. They are delusions and do not deserve one tiny bit of credibility.
Sure there are lots of smart sounding so called experts, with solid evidence based claims, on the internet. I'm sure I could find some sites that provide solid evidence about Sasquatch, or the tooth fairy, or Loch Ness. However just like claims of paranormal, I will not lend them one spec of credibility.
Tip : if it's paranormal, or fairy tale, or religion, call it out as a true skeptic would...... please provide the indisputable evidence of your claim, because I am not buying it !

I did talk more about this in my previous post.  As long as there are claims out there being made by smart sounding researchers who have experiments and claimed evidence for them, then such researchers should be given a full open mind simply because these are researchers who are well trained and educated.  It doesn't matter what claim it is whether it be Bigfoot, the afterlife, fairies, or anything else.  No shortcuts should be made in these scenarios and a full research would be necessary to draw the right conclusion.
