Defaulting to "prove it" is not anything anyone needs to "answer for"....

Otherwise you're demanding that we accept every ridiculous idea that comes up... literally demanding people take suggestions of "Jewish space lasers causing fires in BC" and "the earth isnt real its just a TV show stage for aliens and the catholic church are thier partners" as legitimate possibilities rather than the highlt improbable, if not impossible, insanity they are....

I don't believe I have asked anyone to answer for wanting claims to be backed by evidence.

Then what you wrote was very poorly constructed because that's exactly how I read it...

Perhaps you'd explain how I could have been clearer, then. If I'd meant to indict all skepticism, why use so many adjectives? Or do you struggle under the misapprehension that there's no way to do skepticism without needlessly being a jerk about it?
