*shrugs* Sceptics (those who label themselves as such, not just a person with a sceptical view) are on a sinking boat. Science is telling them that it is their very attitude that is making the experiments fail. Nothing can pass their tests because 'they make it so!'
Science is telling us the cosmos is a creation of observation - the natural byproduct of that is that if you go around trying to disprove everything, you will find yourself right nearly all the time. The Universe such a person lives in will always work to make the wondrous, banal, the surprising, dull & the beautiful, plain.
Sceptics lose the wonder of our reality, they have no glory & everything has to fit in their preconceived boxes. Being sceptical of a claim or boast is not the same as what a self-proclaimed sceptic does. Go to their sites - sceptics rip the heart out of anything they don't understand - if they can't make it sit up & dance, then obviously it's a con, the claimant is a charlatan & they hurry on down the road hugging their closest fears ever more tightly to their chests.
I agree we aren't about classifying people into categories but I would make 2 points - nobody here has done that & the ones who classify people as sceptics are the sceptics themselves.
Never doubt there is Truth, just doubt that you have it!
