[JoJo Gunn]

Most of the time, capable and demonstrating are quite different things hereon in that regard.

Quix, you know that the burden of proof, without fail, is always on those who make extraordinary claims.

Hey Quix...can you see where my following statement can in any way be construed as a global pronunciations that skeptics aren't capable of rational thought?

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.
