Do you believe, then, that there are no ideas that are accepted/fashionable in science-oriented circles, yet that have rational support against them? I wouldn’t have listed the ideas that I listed if I didn’t think I could rationally refute them as being true, coherent, or useful.
If it’s not the case that 1) such ideas exist and 2) skeptics disagree with them, then what’s the point of all their critical thinking? Why not just copy other people’s opinions and call it a day? Is skepticism merely about truth-advocating and not truth-seeking?
