I'm inherently a skeptical person. There are far too many arguments and lines of reasoning that make sense, but are wrong. :D To that end, I will often try and argue against things that make sense to me.

And don't take my claim too strong, here. I obviously don't /know/. I have some strong doubts, sure; but doubts are not themselves evidence against. Your very point on weights not absolutely working is essentially my point.

I bring in consciousness, as that is what it sounds like when you say that one needs to think on something. Consciously and deliberately. Otherwise, I can think a lot on a program I'm wanting to write, but make zero progress on it.

Your scepticism seems to have gone beyond scepticism and into some blind religiousity

As I mentioned elsewhere, please do not cross into personal attack. It's not what HN is for, and it destroys what it is for.

I get the same statement from preachers and highly devout individuals. So... I'm not sure how to respond?

There is also the fact that this is a forum for discussing/debating ideas. Not just to affirm them with agreement, but to strengthen them through criticism.
