Download 50 Popular Beliefs That People Think Are True AudioBook Free
Maybe you know someone who swears by the trustworthiness of psychics or who's in regular contact with angels. Or simply you're trying to find a nice way of dissuading someone from spending money on the homeopathy remedy. Or you satisfied someone at a celebration who insisted the Holocaust never took place or that no person ever walked on the moon. How do you find a carefully persuasive way of steering people from unfounded beliefs, bogus treatments, conspiracy theories, and so on? Longtime skeptic Guy P. Harrison demonstrates how in this down-to-earth, amusing exploration of commonly performed extraordinary claims. A experienced journalist, Harrison hasn't only surveyed an enormous body of books, but has also interviewed leading experts, explored "the most haunted house in America," frolicked in the inviting waters of the Bermuda Triangle, and even talked to a "contrite Roswell alien." Harrison is not out only to debunk unfounded beliefs. Whenever we can, he presents alternative medical explanations, which in most cases are even more exciting than the wildest speculation. For instance, tales about UFOs and alien abductions lack good information, but science gives us lots of of reasons to keep discovering outer space for information that life is out there in other places in the great universe. The facts for Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster may be nonexistent, but experts are regularly exploring new species, a few of that are truly stranger than fiction. Stressing the enthusiasm of scientific discovery and the reliable mysteries and wonder inherent the truth is, Harrison invites listeners to talk about the joys of logical thinking and the skeptical approach to evaluating our extraordinary world.
