Estas son las conclusiones del articulo al que un colistero hizo
referencia en un mensaje anterior. El arituclo lo podran encontrar en :

Con respecto a esto me gustaria conocer el criterio generalizado de los
escepticos con respecto a Dios. Segun Jim Lippard existen escepticos de
los dos tipos, los cristianos y los ateos, como se demuestra en el
siguiente extracto de http://www.rtd.com/~lippard/ :

Yo considero que siendo un esceptico estricto es dificil creer en la
existencia de un Dios, porque no hay como demostrarlo con el metodo
cientifico, ( si alguien conoce la manera me gustaria saberla).

Por lo tanto para nosotros los escepticos cristianos es bastante
complicado por ejemplo decirles a los ufologos que no creemos en los
ET's porque no los hemos visto. Y que pasa con Dios?

Mi interes no es cuestionar la existencia de Dios, porque creo que ese
debate no cabe en este grupo. Por lo tanto favor remitirse solo a la
siguiente pregunta :

Es posible ser un esceptico y seguir creyendo en Dios?
