As long as scientists are tied to the grant strings of the (publicly financed) feeding trough of govt. my skepticism is unbounded. Yours ought to be also.
But nonexistent regarding the fairy tales you want to believe. Because, at the heart of it, what you want to believe is all that matters. You dismiss what reality has to say about itself every single time it contradicts the fairy tale.
That's not skepticism. That's just pitiful. So much of what you use and benefit from in life comes from a source you insist has nothing useful to contribute, for no reason you can even coherently describe. You're an old man who is hell-bent on dying as ignorant as the day you were born.
