 | By definition a skeptic is one who is commited to a certain viewpoint
from the get go, so that even if proven wrong, they fight with all
their might to maintain that viewpoint.
The mind works to validate what you already believe. For example if you
believe that all women are not to be trusted, your mind will
continously find you women who cannot be trusted so that you can remain
in your belief.
Therefore to the skeptic (closed minded) the most conclusive proof
still looks suspicious.

Wrong. By definitio, a skeptic is one who is *NOT* commited to any
viewpoint. Learn to use a dictionary.

I can see from here that you don't know what you are talking about.

Well, now we know you don't know what a skeptic is. Anything
else? No? OK, HANL.
