Drinking Skeptically invites you to come and celebrate the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth!

We have a new location this month that is offering us our own section of the pub and a reserved pool table. There will be room for over twenty people. Help make this our largest turnout!

Darwin Day is a global celebration of science and reason held on or around Feb. 12, the birthday anniversary of evolutionary biologist Charles Darwin. Here is a link for more information about Darwin Day.

Drinking Skeptically is an informal social event designed to promote fellowship and networking among skeptics, critical-thinkers, and like-minded individuals.

Drinking Skeptically provides an opportunity for skeptics to talk, share ideas (and yes, drink) in a casual, relaxed atmosphere. We discuss the issues of the day and whatever else is on our minds. But most of all, we have fun while promoting skepticism, science, and rationality.

Everyone is welcome even if you do not drink.

Swing on by and enjoy the fun!

On May 5, 1925, John Scopes was charged with teaching ideas from Darwin's book on the Origin of Species. Under the Butler Act it was unlawful in any state-funded educational establishment in Tennessee, "to teach any theory that denies the story of the Divine Creation of man as taught in the Bible, and to teach instead that man has descended from the lower order of animals." The trial was held in Dayton, Tennessee, and was world famous. That same year Arkansas adapted its own "anti-evolution" statute based upon the Tennessee law.
