Humans love miracles. Wherever one looks, there is plenty of evidence of this affliction. Now that images dominate the news on the World Wide Web, there are miracles galore on offer. Strange lights in the sky. Flying cars. Waterfalls moving upwards. In most cases, a “scientific” explanation follows soon enough, by which time the interest in the miracle quickly fades. Nobody could care less about such explanations, anyhow. No wonder miracles are staples of all religions going all the way back to shamanism. And so is trickery of all descriptions, for miracles can be easily manufactured. The hunger for them is so huge that any sleight of hand would do. Too stupid to understand much that surrounds them, humans are eager to come up with so-called super-natural explanations. The more outrageous they happen to be, the better. The proclivity welcomes all sorts of magicians, sorcerers, conjurers, and outright cheats since time immemorial. Stupidity comes at a cost, to be sure. And the cost is often mesmerizing.
