Why do people believe in strange ideas and strange things. It might be hard-wired into us.
Normally, it is not a problem, but it can become one, when people decide to believe in strange things instead of science.
Science may to be able to explain, why it is so [1].

Physic Nobel prize Rubbia recently told another good one (approximate translation):
Once upon a time, far ago, when I was young, a friend of mine, Velikovsky, told me, about Thermo Nuclear Fusion, that it would took 50 years.
Recently, nowadays, I met him and simply asked: “And now, Velikovsky?” Answer has been: “always 50 more years: I am a serious person and I do not change my mind”
And that was about Hot Fusion. You can imagine why he does not even take in account to speak on Cold Fusion…
