Quote: On philosophical tests I'm apparently more prone to the skeptical answer. However if I had to be either optimistic or pessimistic about an outcome I was skeptical about, I typically choose optimism. Yes that's biasing, but I think it's more productive than being a skeptic and a pessimist.
Why says you have to "choose" a bias? Why not withhold judgement until the evidence comes in (which is what skepticism is... and I'm glad you agree with me it has nothing to do with optimism or pessimism).

If God ostensibly dropped from the sky how could anyone tell that it actually was God?
