dozens of studies have debunked astrolo astrology.i'll tell you why astrologers have duped people in the show. let's ask our skeptic michael sherman. he wrote the book, "believing brain." our brains are faulty, michael? it leads us to believe in nonsense? >> i wouldn't say they're faulty, but they do believe in nonsense because we believe just about everything we hear or see or read about or are told by others, and there is an evolutionary reason for that. imagine you're an ancient human on the plains of africa millions of years ago and you hear a ruffle in the grass. is it a dangerous predator or just the wind? if you assume the ruffle in rus grass is a dangerous predator and it's just the wind, no harm done. if you believe it's just the wind and it's a dangerous predator, then you're toast. we're the descendants of those most likely to believe everything is real just in case it is. our brains are like lawyers, martialing the evidence so support the case. i think astrology is real, whatever it is, you find the evidence to fit it and
