The exploration of belief takes center stage as Lewis Wolpert investigates why many Americans hold onto improbable ideas, from angels to alien abductions. He examines the psychological underpinnings of belief and its evolutionary significance, analyzing how belief manifests in children, the religious, and those with psychiatric disorders. Wolpert raises thought-provoking questions about the necessity of belief in human society, challenging readers to consider whether it is an essential aspect of our existence or if a life without belief is achievable.
