Reckless doubt can obliterate solid ground and send one spiraling into a black hole of chaos and folly.
Join our yearlong odyssey through perils and triumphs of skeptical inquiry, moments when skepticism and belief collide. Guided by inquisitive leaders in the arts, humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences--thinkers who dare to question--the journey will surely deliver surprises as well as insights. Of that, you can be certain.
