You are invited! This meeting is open to everybody: young, old, religious, non-religious, scientist, artist… On the occasion of the first The Amazing Meeting London, organised by the James Randi Educational Foundation, let’s get together for a drink and a chat on Saturday night (3rd October) and to listen to:
Dr Jack Cohen
Jack is a well-known biologist and writer, his subjects ranging from infertility to the works of Terry Pratchett. He has recently been studying the works of Stuart Kauffman, an American scientist who rejects the reductionist view of science; his latest book is “Reinventing the Sacred”, and this will be the starting point for Jack’s talk.
Howard Brown
In his twenties, Howard was world kickboxing champion. In his thirties, he was in prison, guilty of speaking to the wrong people. Nowadays he’s busy writing the truth, as he sees it, about religion. He converted to atheism several years ago, and he’ll explain the path he took, and why it’s important to him that others see the light.
Howard returns by popular request, after his entertaining and thought-provoking talk to Birmingham Humanists earlier this year.
Venue: The Old Joint Stock, Temple Row West, Birmingham city centre B2 5NY
Jack will be speaking from about 7.30, and Howard from about 9.30. Beforehand, in between, and afterwards, there’ll be a chance to socialise, view videos and link up with the London event.
You don’t have to, but you can let us know you’re coming by RSVPing on Facebook or on Meetup. See you there!
nb. This isn’t an official TAM event, nor is it affiliated with JREF or TAM.
