Barkley Bob's Burger & Brew is still closed for renovations, so we'll move next door, just south of Bob's to Jalapeno's Banquet room.
Bob's Burger & Brew should be open in November and "Drinking Skeptically" will be back in Bob's meeting room on the third Thursday at 6pm! (Nov. 20th).
Our TOPICS:
#1) Authors of 'Science Under Siege' warn of concerted effort to discredit science:
War on Science - (9 minutes long) PBS
*******************************************************************************
#2) - Why Do People Stop Believing in God? 16 minute video - Thank you Dennis for this article for discussion! Link Below:
Why Do People Stop Believing in God?
*******************************************************************************
We will start out by introducing ourselves, our personal passions and also share our choice on how to conduct our meeting (2 minutes or less per person).
The latest Current Affairs are always open for discussion
This is an evolving process and I will gladly accept suggestions to improve the process, quality and enjoyment of meeting for all, if possible!
We encourage attendees to share their life story that lead their journey to the 'Land of Freethought', Free Inquiry and Skepticism towards cultural norms, traditions and stories.
*****************************************************************************
Freethought encourages creative solutions, but then this group uses reason, evidence and the scientific method as the only reliable means to prune down answers to our probing questions and common sense solutions to humanity's current problems.
See you there!
