Alright then.
Suppose you are a young guy who just got his Bachelor's degree in, say, computer science. Your whole life is ahead of you, full of plan and prospects and excitement. You go to Florida to unwind from the stress of your studies and exams. It's all nice and restful, until one day you are swimming in the ocean, and everything seems irie, mon, and then a shark bites off your head. In your opinion, is that f***ing all?
Yes.
There is no evidence of anything else.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
