4. I think many of them do
after all, a very large portion of the population believes in angels, the devil, people rising from the dead...

suspending reality is ingrained in most of us in sunday school. People recite the Apostle's Creed every week.

So if your brain has been programmed that believing in an unprovable reality makes sense, and repeating the same talking points over and over to reinforce that "truth" is the way life is, well...

I can't wait for Al Gore's book, the Assault on Reason
