Debunking Versus Being Skeptical


Debunking 

= Setting out to deny something by finding evidence to support the denial

= Fitting evidence to a pre-determined conclusion

Being Skeptical 

= Holding your beliefs open to being challenged, ultimately altered or destroyed completely if evidence comes to light which undermines their truth.

= Adopting beliefs which are based in evidence, even if this goes against everything you’ve ever trusted and believed in.
