# Why People Believe In Weird Things

This is a very interesting presentation from Michael Shermer that talks about why people believe in weird things and their reasoning behind each subject. Its a hilarious presentation – from alien encounters to Virgin Mary sightings on pizza pies, to hidden messages revealed while playing “Stairway to Heaven” backwards – and explains the evolutionary and cognitive basis for these lapses in reason. Shermer is the founder and publisher of Skeptic Magazine. VIDEO->
