Skepticism

Skepticism is often viewed as a negative philosophy, but I believe that when it is used appropriately is is extremely positive. There are enough amazing things about the world we live in which are supported by real facts, that we don't have to go believing things without good evidence. Have a look in this section for a skeptical view of various topics. Skeptics are always looking for supporting or competing facts so email OJB@mac.com if you have anything to contribute to this section. Alternatively, add a comment using the discuss function.
