What we’re about
Hello Everyone!
Thank you for checking out Church of the Cosmos!
We are a group of individuals dedicated to understanding the true story of who we are, where we came from, and what it means to be a human in the cosmos. The story of the cosmos is the story of us. It's your story, and you have a right to know it.
This is a Meetup Group for people that want to:
A) learn more about the cosmos and its creations
B) give back to their communities in a meaningful, secular way
C) gather together to show appreciation and gratitude for the many gifts that we receive from the Cosmos
D) express their appreciation for the universe and for life without subscribing to any god mythologies
This story is just beginning. I need you to help me write it.
Please do not hesitate to message me directly if you have any questions/comments about the group. I'm always looking for ways to improve our meetups.
Regards,
Reece
Founder, Church of the Cosmos

See all- Ancient Writing and the History of the Alphabet (Part 8/8)Link visible for attendees
Ahoy Fellow Cosmonauts!
Please join us VIRTUALLY tonight (Wednesday, 12/13) for the 8th and FINAL installment of our 8-week series Ancient Writing and the History of the Alphabet. Tonight, for our final two lectures, we'll learn about the history of M, D, X, and T, as well as the origins of punctuation.
A summary of tonight's features is below:
Meditations on M, D, X, and T (2023, 18 min)
"Here, you will engage with a set of letters that have entangled origins. Begin with the straightforward origins of “M” and how it led to the creation of the letter “D.” Then, take a similar journey as you look at the relationship of “T” and “X.” Close with a consideration of why the letters of the alphabet are in the order that we know today."
How Did Punctuation Develop (2023, 28 min)
"Since the spread of writing and literacy created the need for a tool that could help readers better comprehend what they were reading, bring the course to a close with a look at punctuation. Consider why commas, periods, semicolons, question marks, and other symbols developed and how they became an integral part of modern writing systems."
Don't worry if you don't know anything about this subject matter. No prior understanding of writing, the alphabet, the letter X, or the origins of punctuation is required to appreciate tonight's programs and to participate in the discussion period. This is a safe-space for science and for humans who want to talk about science freely.
