    If the word “skeptic” in the title actually meant that, this would be a good thing. It’s good to be skeptic about everything until you’re shown evidence. The problem here is that those folks aren’t really skeptic.

      Yeah, he’s a liar, not a skeptic. He’s denying evidence, not demanding it.

      Hard to accept a “skeptic” in a field with overwhelming evidence that he’s wrong. It means he either doesn’t or refuses to understand the current data which makes him just a dummy not a skeptic

      People decide to believe something and then look for evidence

      Like or not that’s the human thing to do. Breaking out of that mindset is hard.
