May 18 Humanist Forum: Can Meaning (Religion) and Knowledge (Science) Be Joined?
Our President Arthur Jackson claims that most people of the world would answer the title question with their own question, “Why would you want to?” He further asserts that the beliefs underlying their question have trapped us in a blind alley where we see impossible problems in every direction we look rather than magnificent possibilities. Jackson will explore how the insights permitted through the study of human evolution provide answers for escaping the dilemmas that have immobilized humanity, or at least misdirected us for many centuries.
The Humanist Community Forum will meet at 11am at Mitchell Park Community Center. The Mitchell Park Community Center is located at 3800 Middlefield Road, Palo Alto, Just north of Charleston Road.
