Why People Believe Weird Things

A skeptic's look at strategies employed by those who wish to believe in the unprovable. He focusses mostly on anti-evolutionists and Holocaust deniers. I didn't even know people deined the Holocaust. I wish he explored more the psychology of this rather than the actual crazy people. He only said that people find fantastical thoughts comforting because its an answer and it's instant gratification. Makes sense, nothing crazy otherwise.
