Skeptics

Although scientists and skeptics have many times managed to debunk conspiracy theories, believers nevertheless maintain an unreasoning attachment to the discredited ideas.

I was one of the skeptics.

The skeptics were right.

We're skeptics.

Skeptics have doubts about everything.

Tasmanian authorities are intensifying their war against a potentially destructive foe — the European red fox. Officials in the southern Australian state believe their numbers are increasing and are spending up to $50 million to eradicate the foxes. Skeptics, though, think hoaxers may have brought fox carcasses to the island to scare the government.

Skeptics, however, call the evidence "flimsy" and say that there is no concrete proof that pregnant vixens or fox cubs are present in Tasmania.

Conspiracy theories draw skeptics, who then also unmask them.

Real skeptics also apply skepticism to fringe voices, not just mainstream ones.

Skeptics often point out the lack of concrete proof for reincarnation's existence.
