Actually I am skeptical of skeptics. I worship at the house of pragmatic cynicism. I try and disbelieve 10 believable things before breakfast every day! 
I do find the frothy of mouth, regardless on which side, who would lie and pervert knowledge in order to win, basically being on the same side whether they are religious or scientists. One should not underestimate myths. The Greeks used myth to answer the same questions we use science to answer today. We have the conceit to believe science is superior, yet its predictive powers, especially those related to disaster, are not much better than Myth. Saying something about an event after the fact is something anyone can do, after all, that is what myth is.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
