Subject: RE: BS: Science and Religion
Actually, a true skeptic truly *is* still looking - always. Skeptics do not accept "it's a miracle', or "it's unexplainable". Skeptics keep looking for the undiscovered answer. That is not faith. It is a total rejection of faith. Why accept that we cannot understand some phenomenon? Why not keep on looking (lifelong even) for the explanations?

Refusing to accept "a miracle!" is not "faith" in science, it is the goll darn scientific method top to bottom. "Faith Free".

Now, I will completely accede that there are some people who won't or can't keep looking. But they are not true skeptics, and certainly not scientists. They are just bullhead stoopids.
