Agreed, TIA. All intelligent (and unarrogant) people are eager to find the explanation for something and they will look for it.

This is because they have faith in their own powers of observation, intelligence, and perception.

It was the "bullhead stoopids" you allude to that I was referring to as being a problem in the world. Some skeptics ARE bullhead stoopids...and so are some religious people.

Then you have the intelligent skeptic and the intelligent religious person...both of whom are eager to find the explanation for a phenomenon and both of whom will look hard for the explanation, using their powers of observation, intelligence, and perception. Those people should be able to find much in common, and they should get along fine with one another. They have not been blinded by their own arrogance into thinking that they already know it ALL.
