I'm smitten, she is not a rottie with lipstick, , it's a shame she's married.

Blimey, it's a good job she is a sceptic - I could quite happily believe her if she tried to convince me the Tooth Fairy was real!

I'd go along for the ride. You can't prove the Tooth Fairy doesn't exist!

So what's a sceptic here? Someone sceptical about all things supernatural and extra-terrestial?

 

My brother used to get a journal called the Sceptical Enquirer - looked at claimed miracles, ufo's etc in a sceptical enquiring way, but with some openness as well. As a christian believer he found it a good discipline to see the kind of explanations which there were around. As a scientist he certainly felt it wrong to label things as miracles too easily. I've no idea if that journal is still around.

That magazine sure is still around Skeptical Enquirer. They also have a podcast Point of Inquiry

 

I am sceptical of anything that has no evidence to back it up. I'll believe in miracles if I see evidence of something truly miraculous, like a double amputee sprouting new legs.
