International Skeptics Day is a very unique day because it lands on January 13th, or October 13th or first Friday the 13th of the year! It is a day for whoever is the “doubting Thomas” among us. Skeptics are people who doubt and question facts or theories, like asking, is the earth really is round!? Or, is the sky truly blue!? A skeptic will not accept the “Given”. So if you find yourself doubting and questioning things that you see or hear, then International Skeptics Day is for you.
How did International Skeptics Day get started? Maybe a true skeptic wanted to start this day and began it by creating doubt about which of the 3 dates should be picked to celebrate this special day. These dates for celebrating this day are January 13th, October 13th, and the first Friday of the year, which means there are 3 dates to celebrate this day!
