If the word "skeptic" in the title actually meant that, this would be a good thing. It's good to be skeptic about everything until you're shown evidence. The problem here is that those folks aren't really skeptic.
People decide to believe something and then look for evidence
Like or not that's the human thing to do. Breaking out of that mindset is hard.
Yeah, he's a liar, not a skeptic. He's denying evidence, not demanding it.
Hard to accept a “skeptic” in a field with overwhelming evidence that he’s wrong. It means he either doesn’t or refuses to understand the current data which makes him just a dummy not a skeptic
That's que literally what op said
