Basis For Belief

This is just a wrap-up post collecting the four parts of my "Basis For Belief" series so if I feel like referring to these posts collectively later I can just refer back here instead of linking to the posts individually. So, here they are:

• Basis For Belief, Part One: The Burden of Proof
  
• Basis For Belief, Part Two: The Proof of Prayer
  
• Basis For Belief, Part Three: Whence the Witness
  
• Basis For Belief, Part Four: Avoiding the Evidence

Incidentally, as it turns out, this month's book selection for the Skeptics' Book Club--which I hadn't started reading yet at the time I made the above posts--relates very well to the theme of this series, and reinforces much of what I said here. So, even though this was originally intended as a four-part series, I think I'll add to the list:

• Basis For Belief, Part Five: Angels and Aliens
