Fighting superstition and god claims is something the real heros of science have to combat the jokers forever I am afraid. I think you can only contain it.
The first time I heard someone seriously discuss a conspiracy theory it was while riding the city bus and listening to some older men talk about why the moon landing didn't happen. Um...okay.
At a friend's Christmas party, her guest started to tell both me and the hostess' mother about 9/11 and secret messages in the bible that only certain people could read and why Obama was THE ANTICHRIST. Up until that point, the speaker had been a sweet woman who seemed reasonable in all other aspects of her life. What made her so adamant about believing so many conspiracy theories, I don't know.
I have a guilty pleasure in that I like to watch all the History Channel shows on ghosts and Big Foot. My gripe is why can't they be presented as colorful urban legends instead of facts?
