Many people, folks who seem normal enough, believe UFOs regularly hover over Lake Erie or that doomsday will arrive in 2012. And if there weren't believers, would those foreign lottery scams keep showing up in our e-mail in-boxes? On the next Sound of Ideas, we'll explore an unusual college class that explains why people believe the unbelievable and seeks to arm students with some skepticism. Thursday at 9:00 on 90.3.
