Because A Truly Skeptical Position Would Be

The Universe Is Not In A Steady State; There's An Ongoing Creative Principle In Nature, Which Is Driving Things Onwards.

In Practice, The Goal Of Skepticism Is Not The Discovery Of Truth, But The Exposure Of Other People's Errors. It Plays A Useful Role In Science, Religion, Scholarship, And Common Sense. But We Need To Remember That It Is A Weapon Serving Belief Or Self-interest; We Need To Be Skeptical Of Skeptics. The More Militant The Skeptic, The Stronger The Belief.

In No Other Field Of Scientific Endeavor Do Otherwise Intelligent People Feel Free To Make Public Claims Based On Prejudice And Ignorance. Yet In Relation To Psychic Phenomena, Committed Materialists Feel Free To Disregard The Evidence And Behave Irrationally And Unscientifically, While Claiming To Speak In The Name Of Science And Reason. They Abuse The Authority Of Science And Bring Rationalism Into Disrepute.

Science At Its Best Is An Open-minded Method Of Inquiry, Not A Belief System.

Not Every Good Idea Survives. Not Every New Form Of Art Is Repeated. Not Every New Potential Instinct Is Successful. Only The Successful Ones Get Repeated. By Natural Selection And Then Through Repetition They Become Probable, More Habitual.
