Others are certain that exorcisms occur, ghosts haunt attics, and the blessed can cure the terminally ill. Though miracles are immensely improbable, people have embraced them for millennia, seeing in them proof of a supernatural world that resists scientific explanation.Helping us to think more critically about our belief in the improbable, The Miracle Myth casts a skeptical eye on attempts to justify belief in the supernatural, laying bare the fallacies that such attempts commit. Through arguments and accessible analysis, Larry Shapiro sharpens our critical faculties so we become less susceptible to tales of myths and miracles and learn how, ultimately, to evaluate claims regarding vastly improbable events on our own. Shapiro acknowledges that belief in miracles could be harmless, but cautions against allowing such beliefs to guide how we live our lives. His investigation reminds us of the importance of evidence and rational thinking as we explore the unknown. 606 $aSupernatural 606 $aMiracles 606 $aBelief and doubt 606 $aCredulity 606 $aPsychology 615 0$aSupernatural. 615 0$aMiracles. 615 0$aBelief and doubt. 615 0$aCredulity. 615 0$aPsychology. 676 $a202.117 700 $aShapiro$b Lawrence A.$01204047 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798701003321 996 $aThe miracle myth$93830156 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03396nas 2200985-a 450 001 996207381103316 005 20240413025859.0 011 $a2651-3315 035 $a(DE-599)ZDB2113145-4 035 $a(CKB)991042731877070 035 $a(CONSER)---96648305- 035 $a(EXLCZ)99991042731877070 100 $a19960805a19969999 --- - 101 0 $aeng 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aPerceptions $ejournal of international affairs 210 $aAnkara, Turkey $cSAM$d[1996]- 215 $a1 online resource 300 $aRefereed/Peer-reviewed 311 08$aPrint version: Perceptions (Ankara, Turkey) 1300-8641 (DLC) 96648305 (OCoLC)35188486 606 $aInternational relations$vPeriodicals 606 $aRelations internationales$vPériodiques 606 $aPublications périodiques$2eclas 606 $aRelations internationales$2eclas 606 $aforeign policy$2eurovocen 606 $ainternational affairs$2eurovocen 606 $ainternational relations$2eurovocen 606 $aaccession to the European Union$2eurovocen 606 $aMiddle East$2eurovocen 606 $aTurkey$2eurovocen 606 $apolitique extérieure$2eurovocfr 606 $apolitique internationale$2eurovocfr 606 $arelation internationale$2eurovocfr 606 $aadhésion à l'Union européenne$2eurovocfr 606 $aProche et Moyen-Orient$2eurovocfr 606 $aTurquie$2eurovocfr 606 $aDiplomatic relations$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01907412 606 $aInternational relations$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00977053 606 $aInternationale Politik$2gnd 606 $aZeitschrift$2gnd 606 $aRELACIONES INTERNACIONALES$vPUBLICACIONES PERIODICAS$2renib 606 $aInternationale Politik$2swd 606 $aZeitschrift$2swd 607 $aTurkey$xForeign relations$y1980-$vPeriodicals 607 $aTurquie$xRelations extérieures$y1980-$vPériodiques 607 $aTurquie$2eclas 607 $aTurkey$2fast$1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJxmHG9jJjCTM3y4pFRqcP 607 $aTürkei$2gnd 607 $aTurkey$xForeign relations$vPeriodicals$2nli 607 $aTürkei$2swd 608 $aZeitschrift. 608 $aPeriodicals.$2fast 608 $aPeriodicals.$2lcgft 615 0$aInternational relations 615 6$aRelations internationales 615 7$aPublications périodiques. 615 7$aRelations internationales. 615 7$aforeign policy. 615 7$ainternational affairs. 615 7$ainternational relations. 615 7$aaccession to the European Union. 615 7$aMiddle East. 615 7$aTurkey. 615 7$apolitique extérieure. 615 7$apolitique internationale. 615 7$arelation internationale. 615 7$aadhésion à l'Union européenne. 615 7$aProche et Moyen-Orient. 615 7$aTurquie. 615 7$aDiplomatic relations 615 7$aInternational relations. 615 7$aInternationale Politik 615 7$aZeitschrift 615 7$aRELACIONES INTERNACIONALES 615 07$aInternationale Politik. 615 07$aZeitschrift. 676 $a327.05 712 02$aSAM (Center) 906 $aJOURNAL 912 $a996207381103316 920 $aexl_impl conversion 996 $aPerceptions$91289446 997 $aUNISA
