Freethinkers of Colorado Springs

Membership Meeting

7:00 to 9:00 PM

315 East Costilla in Colorado Springs

Join us in watching Part 1 of the television documentary, "The Enemies of Reason: Slaves to Superstition," written and presented by Richard Dawkins. The documentary was broadcast on Channel 4 in the UK in 2007.

"Prof Richard Dawkins tackles the epidemic of irrational, superstitious thinking which is blotting the light of logic and evidence. After garnering tips on psychics' entirely earthly trade secrets from the illusionist Derren Brown, Dawkins attends a seance and confronts the medium. Time and again, the interviewees appeal to personal revelation or second-hand anecdote to justify their belief." [Channel 4]

This is a great documentary that every freethinker should watch and have in their library.

The complete DVD series is available for sale at RichardDawkins.net.

Weather permitting, there will be a hike on Sunday, June 7th. Chautauqua Trail 715. This is a relatively newly discovered trail. It starts on the south west edge of the town of Palmer Lake and heads towards Mount Herman. There are short sections that the trail is extremely steep (in some locations to avoid walking in Monument Creek). Overall the trail has a relatively gradual incline. I would rate this trail as intermediate in difficulty. We can decide as a group how far we would like to go up this beautiful valley (or to the top of Mount Herman).

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.

Please sign up here or at Meetup.com -- http://skeptics.meetup.com/150/
