Hmmm.
But there are uncountable absurd things without evidence though, Adrian. So it's up to whoever to decide whether to spent his/her time checking X thing without evidence out right?
Because there is no time in one lifetime, never mind countless lifetimes, to check out if there's any evidence for the uncountable things that you so far know of no evidence of ( the FSM, Russell's Teapot, Zeus, "God", the Afterlife, etc, etc, etc the list goes on and on and on)...so how does one objectively decide what to spend time checking out if there's any evidence of or not exactly?
Why should reincarnation, for instance, be (objectively) put above any other (at least seemingly) absurd thing without evidence? And if it shouldn't (as I don't see how it should) - then isn't it simply up to you what you spend your time checking out? Aren't all bets off when it comes to absurd things that thus far at least, appear to lack evidence?
I mean you might as well get the telescope out and search for Russell's Teapot mightn't you? And if not, are you being unskeptical?
And if you think that's a strawmen...please do clarify why
