It does not go away: our need to believe in something beyond biology is so remarkably tenacious that we are everywhere surrounded by not only a variety of religious beliefs with many of them insisting upon the uniqueness of one particular set of beliefs, but we are also surrounded by the presences of less thoughtful and more patently irrational beliefs: past-life channelers, abduction by extraterrestrials, clairvoyance, psychic surgery, ghosts, witches, astrology, TM levitation, astral traveling, dowsers, necromancy, miracles, after-death experiences, I Ching, Feng Shui, Angels, healing crystals, palm reading, astrology, aura reading, psychokinesis, poltergeists, exorcism, Tarot cards, precognition, synchronicity and I'm sure each of you could add to this list.

但同时，我们也会被一些相对浅薄或明显不合理的信念包围：前世时光隧道、来自宇宙的诱导、透视能力、精神手术、鬼魂、巫婆、占星术、 TM 悬浮、星界旅行、探矿、巫术、奇迹、死后体验、易经、风水、天使、疗病水晶、掌读、气味阅读、心灵制动、敲击作响闹恶作剧的鬼、咒语、塔罗牌、预知、同步性……我确信你们中任何一个人都可以往这个单子里添加新项目。
