A BRIEF INTRODUCTION
All our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike — and yet it is the most precious thing we have.
THE SKEPTICS SOCIETY is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) scientific and educational organization whose mission is to engage leading experts in investigating the paranormal, fringe science, pseudoscience, and extraordinary claims of all kinds, promote critical thinking, and serve as an educational tool for those seeking a sound scientific viewpoint. Our contributors—leading scientists, scholars, investigative journalists, historians, professors and teachers—are top experts in their fields. It is our hope that our efforts go a long way in promoting critical thinking and lifelong inquisitiveness in all individuals.
The Society’s Executive Director, Dr. Michael Shermer, is also the Founding Publisher of Skeptic magazine, a monthly columnist for Scientific American, the host of the Skeptics Distinguished Science Lecture Series at Caltech, and Adjunct Professor at Claremont Graduate University and Chapman University. Shermer has written 12 books including: The Believing Brain, Why Darwin Matters, The Science of Good and Evil, and Why People Believe Weird Things. He has appeared on such shows as The Colbert Report, 20/20, Dateline, Charlie Rose, Larry King Live, Tom Snyder, Donahue, Oprah, Leeza, Unsolved Mysteries, among others. He has been interviewed in countless documentaries aired on PBS, A&E, Discovery, History Channel, Science Channel, and Learning Channel.
Sum Ergo Cogito —I have made a ceaseless effort not to ridicule, not to bewail, not to scorn human actions, but to understand them.
I Am Therefore I Think.
