If

Critical thinking gives due consideration to the evidence, the context of judgment, the relevant criteria for making the judgment well, the applicable methods or techniques for forming the judgment, and the applicable theoretical constructs for understanding the problem and the question at hand. Critical thinking employs not only logic but broad intellectual criteria such as clarity, credibility, accuracy, precision, relevance, depth, breadth, significance and fairness.

Then

We can only make our asumptions on what we know, there is the problem, science as yet does not know all the answers, we the human race are still discovering the world around us.

Im not convinced anything actully dies?, quatum psyics is pointing to that posability.

I reamin open minded, James Randi does not.

Yeh, it sounds like something my Hal would say, that's probably because I took it from the Wikipedia and most things I teach Xen come from there.
