Revision as of 04:40, December 30, 2008
, 04:40, December 30, 2008Added note on modern atheist skeptics
In modern times the term skepticism is use colloquially to refer to disbelief in anything non-material, such as [[God]]. Interestingly, the [[Bible]] itself gives an example of skepticism when [[Thomas the Apostle|"Doubting Thomas"]] would not believe that [[Jesus]] had risen until he saw Him with his own eyes and put his fingers into Jesus' wounds.
