How We Believe

Descripción

"Recent polls report that 96% of Americans believe in God. Why is this? Why, despite the rise of science, technology, and secular education, are people turning to religion in greater numbers than ever before? Why do people believe in God at all?"--BOOK JACKET. "These provocative questions lie at the heart of How We Believe, an illuminating new study of God, faith, and religion by author Michael Shermer. Offering fresh and often startling insights into age-old questions, Shermer's new book explores how and why humans put their faith in a higher power, even in the face of scientific skepticism."--BOOK JACKET.
