Why do people believe what they believe? Are religious convictions any different than believing that aliens have visited earth? Dr. Michael Shermer, founding publisher of Skeptic Magazine, host of The Michael Shermer Show, and author of many books, most recently Conspiracy: Why the Rational Believe the Irrational, helps us calibrate our skeptic's compass and find our way through the labyrinth of belief.
