Carl Sagan muses on the current state of scientific thought, which offers him marvelous opportunities to entertain us
with his own childhood experiences, the newspaper morgues, UFO stories, and the assorted flotsam and jetsam of
pseudoscience. Along the way he debunks alien abduction, faith-healing, and channeling; refutes the arguments that
science destroys spirituality, and provides a "baloney detection kit" for thinking through political, social, religious,
and other issues.
