However, the problem for skeptics is that they cannot determine which god is the real God. Both religious people and skeptics can reject miracle claims, but they do so for entirely different reasons. So long as the skeptic is consistent in rejecting any and all accounts that he has not personally witnessed or that no one has been able to corroborate through other means, then the rejection of miracles is reasonable. In doing such, the skeptic may actually reject truth, but that is the price to be paid for guarding against the acceptance of something that is false. Also, some people like to think that science is able to explain what it observes when science is usually only able to measure what it observes without the foggiest notion of why it occurs.
Scientists are prone to speculation and hypothesis that many take for fact.
