When fifteen different people each try fifteen different ways to explain to something to a person, and that person still does not appear to understand, then one of two possibilities exist;

1. The person does not want to understand

2. The person is too stupid to understand


The essential difference between sceptic and CT;

A sceptic has views and opinions based on available evidence, and if that evidence changes or new evidence is found, the sceptic is prepared to reassess their view in favour of the supporting evidence.

A CT has views based on unbridled speculation and unscientific evidence and no matter how much accurate and verifiable evidence they are presented with that their view is wrong, they will never change it, rather they will first attack the person presenting the evidence and when that fails, they will attack the way the evidence was obtained, and when that fails, they will call the whole of science into question.
