Summary:
Maybe you understand someone who swears from the reliability of psychics or who is in regular connection with angels. Or perhaps you’re trying to find a nice method of dissuading somebody from wasting money on a homeopathy cure. Or you fulfilled someone at a celebration who insisted the Holocaust never occurred or that no-one ever walked around the moon. How do you find a gently persuasive method of steering people away from unfounded values, bogus cures, conspiracy theories, and so on? Longtime skeptic Guy P. Harrison about 50 Popular Beliefs THAT FOLKS Think Are True shows you how with this down-to-earth, entertaining exploration of typically held extraordinary statements. A experienced journalist, Harrison hasn’t only surveyed a huge body of books, but in addition has interviewed leading scientists, explored “the most haunted home in the us,” frolicked in the appealing waters of the Bermuda Triangle, and even spoken to a “contrite Roswell alien.” Harrison is not out only to debunk unfounded beliefs. Whenever we can, he presents alternate medical explanations, which generally are even more fascinating compared to the wildest speculation. For example, stories about UFOs and alien abductions absence good evidence, but science gives us a lot of reasons to keep exploring space for proof that life exists somewhere else in the vast universe. The proof for Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster may be nonexistent, but researchers are regularly finding new species, a few of which are truly stranger than fiction. Stressing the enthusiasm of scientific finding and the reputable mysteries and question inherent in reality, Harrison invites visitors to share the joys of logical thinking and the skeptical approach to evaluating our outstanding world.
