I see that:

A person setting out to prove something exists is similar to one who sets out to prove the same thing doesn't exist.

They both start from a point of bias and their judgment will be so colored.

Skeptics are the mirror image of those who believe without evidence...neither approach the subject scientifically. To both, their belief is a matter of faith and/or desire...and not the product of rational thought.

As an obvious truism.

And, as an obviouis truism, it has a global reach. I think it does encompass accurately both perspectives in such a matter.

However, most naysayers break out in hives, appoplexy and hysterical frothing at the mouth when confronted with anything remotely accusing them of having a shred of faith about anything. One wonders how they manage to have faith that other drivers will stop at red lights.

Is there a reason for your posting in a large font? Are you also upset?
