| Thursday, October 25, 2007, 7:15 pm - 8:45 pm | ||
| Why
People Believe Weird Things: Science, Pseudoscience, and the Paranormal Michael Shermer, Publisher, Skeptic Magazine |
||
 |
Ever wonder why people believe in UFOs and alien abductions, mind-reading and psychics who talk to the dead, reincarnation and life after death, out-of-body, and near-death experiences, urban legends and satanic panics, not to mention “scientific creationism” and the pernicious myth that the Holocaust never happened? Dr. Michael Shermer, the Founding Publisher of Skeptic magazine and a monthly columnist for Scientific American, is a genuine ghost-buster, a relentless crusader against junk science, bad science, voodoo science, pathological science, pseudoscience, and plain old nonsense. Based on his best-selling book, Why People Believe Weird Things, Dr. Shermer’s lecture will be filled with humor, insight, and personal anecdotes. Don’t miss this fascinating program. This program is included in Full and Partner/Spouse registration. | |
