POWER OF BELIEF WITH JOHN STOSSEL Why do so many people put their faith in pseudo-scientific pursuits such as astrology, alternative medicine and psychics? The ABC News special "The Power of Belief" anchored and reported by John Stossel, shows how the silliest of superstitions and strongest of faiths can have a big impact on our minds, bodies and even our wallets. Stossel walks on hot coals, visits New Age emporia, checks the accuracy of his horoscope, and invites a voodoo priest to place a curse on him. He discovers people are attracted to belief -- often in defiance of evidence. It begins at a young age, with our capacity for imaginative play. Stossel talks to a group of children as they create -- and come to believe in -- an imaginary fox. "There is a fox, there is a fox, I know it. We saw one, I know it!," says a child. ----- End Forwarded Message ----- +--------------------------------------------------------------+ | UFOMIND MAILING LIST | | Supporting the World's Largest Paranormal Website | | www.ufomind.com Moderator: Glenn Campbell | | | | Archived at: http://www.ufomind.com/misc/ | | Submissions to: ufomind@lists.best.com | | "unsubscribe"/"subsingle" to: ufomind-request@lists.best.com | +--------------------------------------------------------------+ RELEVANCE OF THIS MESSAGE: Current media
