Skepticism or scepticism (see spelling differences) is generally any questioning attitude towards unempirical knowledge or opinions/beliefs stated as facts, or doubt regarding claims that are taken for granted elsewhere. Skepticism is often separated into categories, related to morality (right or wrong), religion (religious doubt), or the nature of knowledge ("there is no knowledge beyond how things appear.")
Philosophical skepticism is a systematic approach that questions the notion that absolutely certain knowledge is possible. Classical philosophical skepticism derives from the 'Skeptikoi', a school who "asserted nothing". Adherents of Pyrrhonism (and more recently, partially synonymous with Fallibilism), for instance, suspend judgment in investigations. Skeptics may even doubt the reliability of their own senses.Religious skepticism, on the other hand, is "doubt concerning basic religious principles (such as immortality, providence, and revelation)".Scientific skepticism is about testing beliefs for reliability, by subjecting them to systematic investigation using the scientific method, to discover empirical evidence for them.
Paul Zachary "PZ" Myers (born March 9, 1957) is an American scientist and associate professor of biology at the University of Minnesota Morris (UMM). He is founder and author of the Pharyngula science blog, hosted on both the Science Blogs and Freethought Blogs networks. He currently works with zebrafish in the field of evolutionary developmental biology and cultivates an interest in cephalopods.
He is an outspoken critic of intelligent design (ID) and the creationist movement, and is active in the American creation–evolution controversy. He is widely regarded as a confrontationalist.
In 2006, the journal Nature listed his Pharyngula as the top-ranked blog by a scientist based on popularity.
Myers received the American Humanist Association's 2009 Humanist of the Year award and International Humanist Award in 2011. Asteroid 153298 Paulmyers is named in his honor.
Myers was born March 9, 1957, the eldest of six children in Kent, Washington; his mother is of Swedish and Norwegian descent. Regarding his ancestry, Myers wrote: "I'm only half Scandinavian. The blood has been thinned with that of those domesticated English and Irish and Scots." He was named "Paul Zachary", after his grandfather, but preferred the initials PZ to being called "Little Paul". He has described his family as "probably what would be called the working poor nowadays", and noted that "when I was growing up I was called white trash more than a few times".

In June 2011, five leading skeptics (Bill Nye, James Randi, Donald Prothero, Brian Dalton, and Michael Shermer) met at Caltech during the Skeptics Society's Science Symposium to discuss their experiences communicating science to the public. Young audience members took advantage of these experts to ask excellent questions. This video includes one of the hottest topics in the skeptical community today: What is the most effective approach for educating the public and promoting skepticism, science, and critical thinking skills—confrontation, or a more gentle and respectful approach? There are several DVDs from the Science Symposium that you can order from Shop Skeptic: http://www.skeptic.com/lectures/conferences/symposium-2011/

Resettling in America, the couple swore eternal fidelity to each other, but also swore to never, ever, under any circumstances get legally married. (both were survivors of previous bad divorces. Enough said.) But providence intervened one day in the form of the United States government, which after unexpectedly detaining Felipe at an American border crossing gave the couple a choice: they could either get married, or Felipe would never be allowed to enter the country again. Having been effectively sentenced to...

Welcome to one of the most Important Jedi training classes you will ever take. The force can have a strong influence on the weak minded and for many generations Jedi masters have attempted to discover why. Thanks to the amazing properties of this planet, we discovered that all of us are subject to the weak minded factors, some more than others. This class will make you aware of these factors, and teach you methods to train your mind to be less susceptible to these factors, or "biases".

Syndicated columnist Dr. Charles Krauthammer commented on the recent hacking and subsequent release of Gen. Colin Powell’s emails. The emails showed a strong disdain for Republican Donald Trump, who he blasted for forwarding the “birther” controversy, which looked to prove that President Obama was born in Kenya rather than in Hawaii—and therefore Constitutionally unable to be commander-in-chief. He also criticized Hillary Clinton for involving him in her email scandal by mentioning his name, as well as alleged advice he gave her regarding setting up a personal email server. “He’s an equal opportunity skeptic…he’s been near particularly to the Clintons,” Krauthammer said on Special Report with Bret Baier. “I understand why he’d be particularly upset by being dragged into this saga of e...

Science teacher, paranormal researcher, and Bigfoot hunter Thom Powell talks about his years of study and the connections he has made between his Bigfoot research and other aspects of the unknown. Powell described how he first became aware that the evidence for large, hairy hominids in North America was far more extensive than he first believed. Every time thought he could dismiss it, he said, "the evidence was better than I realized" which only increased his interest. Bigfoot, or Sasquatch, is described as a large, hairy, muscular, bipedal ape-like creature, roughly 6 - 9 feet tall, covered in black, dark brown, dark reddish, white or grey hair. Individuals claiming to have seen Bigfoot described large eyes, a pronounced brow ridge, and a large, low-set forehead; the top of the head ha...

Eric Hovind is parroting his daddy's bullshit from yesteryear and peddling out the same mind numbing nonsense. I love the fact that he is trying to demean atheists and all of science, while at the same time trying to convince 'regular christians' to become young earth creationist christians.

You got me like the moonlight
Out on these summer nights
Bring me home tonight
I was born in the midwest,
A small town in Michigan
The summers never seem to last
The three months, the moments
They go by so fast
Here we are, here we are
Back again
Trying to find our path or even where to begin
Where,
Where to begin?
We live these summer nights
We hold them close to treasure
Let's set a spark tonight and let them burn forever
You got me like the moonlight
Out on these summer nights
In these damn suburbs
Girl you're like the streetlight
Wish that I could rewind
And watch the stars align
Bring me home tonight... !
You got me like the moonlight
Out on these summer nights
Bring me home tonight... !
I'm letting go of the times that I loved the most
Like late nights bonfires
And the great Lakes Coast
And those days when I would never go back home
I'll let the water take my soul
Swimming up to the shore, facing the fact
That I can't ignore
Hiding the truth with my biggest fear
That this may be the end
But closure is near
You got me like the moonlight
Out on these summer nights
In these damn suburbs
Girl you're like the streetlight
Wish that I could rewind
And watch the stars align
Bring me home tonight... !
You got me like the moonlight
Out on these summer nights
Bring me home tonight... !
We live these summer nights,
We hold them close to treasure
Let's set a spark tonight,
Let's let them burn forever
We live these summer nights,
We hold them close to treasure
Let's set a spark tonight,
And let them burn forever!
Yeah!
You got me like the moonlight
Out on these summer nights
In these damn suburbs
Girl you're like the streetlight
You got me like the moonlight
Out on these summer nights
In these damn suburbs
Girl you're like the streetlight!
You got me like the moonlight
Out on these summer nights
In these damn suburbs
Girl you're like the streetlight
Wish that I could rewind
And watch the stars align
Bring me home tonight
