Question everything!
...says the one who is content with GodDidIt as the ultimate answer. Still waiting, btw, for your answer to my question in the post you thanked me for. Why is God-Did-It so superior to We-Don't-Know or It-Just-Is?
In any event, you do know there is a point where skepticism becomes irrational? When you are presented with compelling evidence and you still call yourself a "skeptic" about it (like "skeptics" of evolution or "climate science skeptics" or 9/11 Truthers who are "skeptics of the official story"), the tables turn and the believers are the rational ones.
If you really believe "question everything" in the context of Zen's post, that compelling evidence has already been presented, then it sounds like you're embracing solipsism. Please correct me if I'm wrong here.
Frankly, presuppositional "apologetics" has always kind of smacked of solipsism to me anyway. It's like you start with the "we can't know anything outside of our mind" premise of solipsism and tacks on a "therefore we assume Jesus to make it all better" at the end.

I can't answer for Stimbo but for myself, I'd say how about the standards that we've been discussing for the whole thread?
If your memory fails you, I'll repeat. Do it as a repeatable experiment under scientific peer review.
