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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHelping us to think more critically about our belief in the improbable, \u003ci\u003eThe Miracle Myth\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLarry Shapiro is professor of philosophy at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
