An incredible story, presented compellingly. A quick and engaging enough read that I completely avoided the temptation to spoil the book via Wikipedia. ]]> <![CDATA[Pyrogenesis added 'How We Believe: Science, Skepticism, and the Search for God']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77404709 to: How We Believe: Science, Skepticism, and the Search for God (second edition) by Michael Shermer

Although I have a few issues with the writing and general attitude of this book, most of the material it covers is interesting. I'll freely admit that it would have gotten another star if it had been harsher on homeopathy- such quackery warrants not so much as a second glance, and I was only able to tolerate that chapter with a steady flow of childish name-calling.

More NOmeopathy, am I right? More like homeAPATHY, am I right? ]]>
