(Although I have a sense you put more effort into that than most.) I sure don't know the details about Pasteur's work myself.<br /><br />You might not think of me as a skeptic, because I lean toward interest in some things that you seem to feel sure are unproven, like homeopathy (which is much more widely accepted in Europe, not saying acceptance is evidence!). <br /><br />My skepticism may point in different directions than yours. I think it's important to acknowledge how affected we are by our worldview, and question that. I wrote a post <a href="http://andalltherestofsue.blogspot.com/2009/08/my-heroes-starhawk-modern-day-good.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>, about Starhawk, one of my 'heroes', that explains my understanding of 'magic'.
