Re: How do Christians possibly rationalize these things?

Well, your argument this time around comes across much better. Doubting one type of empirical evidence, and then using another type of emipirical evidence to negatively portray a particular group does raise an eyebrow though. Your clarification of the use of the term skeptic is helpful. Before it seemed as though you were using it in a broader sense, which confused me, since atheists are, in a certain sense, the ultimate skeptics.

For the record, I agree with you for general purpose. The existence of a creator cannot be proven or disproven. Speculation is fine, as long as it remains that. There are people around here, and elsewhere, who like to make claims of certainty, ie: There is no God, or, I know God exists. Both ways of thinking, and especially of conversing, are screwed up.
