Upset Creationist?
I have to think that whoever gave this book a 1 star review must be a very angry religious person who is upset that religion got lumped in with other superstitions... Calling Bruce Hood unscientific is like calling the Williams sisters nonathletic... It's very odd and reactionary. Anyhow, it's a good book, and a fun read for anyone interested in...

Unscientific look at superstition
He immediately discounts any alternative theory in favor of his own and proceeds from there. That is NOT the scientific method. He rehashes the same-old same-old. Save your money and buy a book that actually uses the scientific method.

Anyhow, it's a good book, and a fun read for anyone interested in superstitions, and yes, sorry 1-star-giver, that includes religion.

This review is from: The Science of Superstition: How the Developing Brain Creates Supernatural Beliefs (Paperback)
The author covers the subject and studies that have been done on this in an interesting way some books can be rather dry when it comes to brain studies. There will be further studies for sure but this is an interesting look at what might be the reason people are so caught up in supernatural beliefs.
