Skepticism is the literal precursor to the acientific method, and that's where you're stopping.

Good, so we agree on something then. No skepticism = no science.

You're basically saying, "Gravity isn't real because I don't see proof."

Strawman. I didn't say that.

A real scientist would drop an apple, a feather, a bowling ball, and verify it.

Yes, and some of the people in the "anti-science" community ARE doing that. And the rest of them are conducting a self-experiment on what happens if you ignore all the science...
