These people are pretty gullible as in they would probably believe anyone who calls themselves a doctor or anyone who wears a white coat. Now the things that they blindly follow may be in fact founded on science and our actual understanding of the universe, but they have done no research or investigation whatsoever into what the people in power are telling them are true. Thus they have the propensity to believe in things that are false as long as they trust the deliverer.
No, neither. I don't "believe in" evolution, I have studied the evidence and understand it.
I think that is generally true; skeptics don't accept 'ex cathedra' pronouncements.
But this thread is concerning those who do. People who arent actually skeptics.
Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn't be, and what it wouldn't be, it would. -Alice
