Today we're inundated with junk science from infomercials, politicians, television and radio shows. Remember when you loved science and you knew what it was? Or maybe science has left you in the dust since you finished school. Whatever the case may be, please join us and renew your relationship with science. This group is dedicated to the principals of the Science Cafe movement. Its purpose is to expose everyone to interesting new science, to get those burning questions answered, and to bring …

This group's goal is to get exercise while exploring and learning about the geology and natural science of the San Francisco Bay Area.

I was recently inspired by a New York Times article about informal science and technology lectures that are being held in bars and clubs in NYC. Here's my vision: to organize an informal lecture series at local (and supportive) bars/cafes on whatever topics interest intellectually minded folk (Astrophysics? Anthropology? Health and Wellness? You tell me!). The lecture becomes a place to learn, meet other people, have a drink and interesting conversation, or share what you know! At this point, I' …

...says so... NOPE!!! What is science? Good science includes evidence that is testable, demonstrable, observable, measurable, repeatable, etc. So why do we insist on holding onto hypothesis like evolution when all we ever observe or demonstrate prove evolution is impossible. You won't find anybody saying "because the bible says so" in this discussion unless it comes from an evolutionist! lol No, here Young Earth Creationists pose hard facts already accepted by evolutionists and show …
… Humanists find that science is the best method for determining this knowledge as well as for solving problems and developing beneficial technologies. We also recognize the value of new departures in thought, the arts, and inner experience—each subject to analysis by critical intelligence. Humans are an integral part of nature, the result of unguided evolutionary change. Humanists recognize nature as self-existing. We accept our life as all and enough, distinguishing things as they are from thin …
