I truly believe that this forum draws in the least reasonable human beings ever.

You sound unhappy. If that's what the larger more credible scientific community of flailing monkeys does. What good are they?

I'm not a scientist, but if you're asking "What good is skepticism?" then I'd just ask you to reread the thread. Science is predicated on skepticism and doubt, and not being satisfied with an answer until it is substantiated with empirical evidence and can bear the weight of scrupulous peer review and crosschecking. This is because of skepticism and doubt.

Faith, or at least the kind of faith that leads one to believe in creationism, is predicated on belief without evidence. Personal experiences that can't be repeated and tested are not evidence. Long, serious contemplation about the universe and the origins of life is not evidence. Man-made books and scripture are not evidence. Using these things to jump to an irrational conclusion that there is a creator of the universe is not skeptical in any way whatsoever.

I once saw one of those shows turn on hot water and then try to convince people the shower curtain moving was a ghost. And a light reflected of his watch was a spirit. Good job.
