NOTE: This is a 10:30 am meeting, following which there will be a social hour mixer for EHS members and CFI/Chicago members, with snacks and refreshments . Child care is available.
You won't want to miss this one - and the EHS folks are looking forward to seeing many of you there, too!! This IS the CFI/Chicago February program - there will be no February event at the UIC.
DJ's discussion will focus on whether it is possible to develop ethical systems built on Darwin's observations on evolution and human morality. Could such systems replace outmoded, even destructive, religious beliefs about right and wrong, and replace them with a science of ethics? Can religion generally, not merely "bad" religion, actually be to blame for many of the world's troubles? Could a secular ethics offer real solutions?
DJ Grothe has recently accepted the presidency of the James Randi Educational Foundation. For many years, he was the Vice President for Outreach for the national/international Center For Inquiry, which is headquartered in Amherst, NY and has branches in many countries as well as in Chicago and many other US cities.
