Interesting talk about how and why the brain is wired to see patterns when none exist. Michael Shermer is the editor of Skeptic--a magazine that spends a lot of time debunking stuff people believe, like pseudo-science. Warning: this man is a skeptic; that means he doesn't believe in God, either, and applies his model to religious belief.
