Welcome
to be a skeptic requires a strong science base in the specific field to dispute the standing science....that's what peer review is about ...a peer reviewer can question and probe a paper because they are well versed in the field.
The greater the skeptical claim - the stronger your knowledge of the field and the strength of opposing evidence needs to be.
Generally we find that the badge of "skeptic" is used from a position of ignorance rather than depth of knowledge. A link to Creation Ministries.....would be a position arising from ignorance ...not evidence.
Proceed from there...
I'm hoping to find some real skeptics on RatSkep -- people who like to think about stuff and reach rational conclusions.
What are my chances?
