Where are we going? Why are we here?” Darwin gave us some answers for some of these questions. Join us to celebrate Darwin’s birthday. We’ll catch a glimpse of Darwin the scientist as well as Darwin the person. We’ll show how his life was informed by UU principles that\, of course\, hadn’t been formulated as such yet.

SUMMARY:The Evolution of Relationships (Sunday Assembly Columbus)
DESCRIPTION:It’s that time of year! Love is in the air\, and that means Darwin Day is right around the corner (we love him\, don’t you?)! Join us to celebrate the new year! \nCoffee and baked goods will be provided\, and join us at Cazuela’s Grill across the street for lunch! \nBring a date\, or just bring yourself. There’s plenty of love to go around\, but not in a weird way… \n——————————————————————————- \nAbout our guest speaker: \nThe Evolution of Relationships: How I Learned to Have Better Relationships\, One Mistake at a Time. \nSusan Porter will talk to us about all the mistakes she has made\, pitfalls she has taken with Olympic “10” nose dives and why the trick to forming long lasting\, healthy relationships means being willing to make mistakes and more importantly\, being willing to learn from those mistakes. (It doesn’t hurt to acknowledge that relationships are the ULTIMATE GROUP PROJECT.) \nSusan has experience being in both monogamous relationships and polyamorous relationships and thinks the only advantage polyamorous people have over monogamous people is the the chance to make exponentially more mistakes more often! \nThe event image included here is property of its respective owner(s) (Retrieved from: https://principleintopractice.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/evo_love.jpg).

SUMMARY:Darwin Day: A Humanist Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Dr. John Teehan\,  Professor and Chair of the Department of Religion\, holds an M.A. in Psychology (Queens College\, 1987) and a Doctorate in Philosophy (Graduate Center\, CUNY\, 1992). He joined the full time Hofstra Faculty in 1998\, while continuing to serve as a behavioral psychological consultant\, and chair of the Medical Ethics committee of a mental health care organization. His main research focus is on the cognitive/evolutionary study of morality and religion\, with a special interest in religious morality and religion’s role in conflict. He explored these topics in his book\, In the Name of God: The Evolutionary Origins of Religious Ethics and Violence (2010\, Wiley-Blackwell). \nHis work is also concerned with the interaction of cognitive-evolutionary theories and the philosophy of religion\, particularly as this relates to the Problem of Evil and questions of religious belief. He writes and lectures widely on these topics. Dr. Teehan is also on the editorial board of Evolutionary Psychological Science\, and Associate Editor of Science\, Religion and Culture. \nIn addition\, we are honoring\, Jon Stepanian from “Long Island Food Not Bombs\,” who has been donating healthy and vegan options to the hungry and homeless in the New York metropolitan area. \nEvents: \n\nAn opportunity to create your own “Openly Secular” video.\nLetter Writing for Social Change\nThe “Survival of the Fittest” game:  which species will prevail?\nOther activities include a dramatic presentation\, children’s activities\, “meet and greet” networking opportunities.\nAnd much much more…..\n\nLunch for Sale \nUpdate: We are excited to announce the mayor of Garden City\, the Honorable John J.

SUMMARY:Darwin Day with Dr. Austin Hitt: Origin of Species Then and Now
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our monthly meeting as we celebrate Darwin Day with a special talk by Dr. Austin Hitt! \nThe Origin of Species Then and Now\nCharles Darwin’s Origin of Species (1859) is one of the most discussed and controversial books of all time. Scientists celebrate the Origin as the start of biology as a science. Critics view the Origin as a materialistic book that undermines the moral fabric of society. The jubilation and the rancor elicited by the Origin continues today over 200 hundred years later. What makes the Origin phenomenon even more interesting is how few people\, scientists and laypersons alike\, have actually read the book. This talk focuses on clarifying what Darwin thought about evolution\, explains the relevancy of his ideas for modern biology and discusses how his core theories have been amended in order to reflect our current understanding of how life on earth evolves. \nAbout our speaker: Dr. Austin Hitt is an Associate Professor of Science Education at Coastal Carolina University. He is also a former high school science teacher and has earned a B.S. in Biology from the University of West Florida\, M.S. in Zoology and Wildlife Science from Auburn University\, a M.Ed. in Biology Education from the University of West Florida and a Ph.D. in Science Education from Indiana University. Dr. Hitt’s current research focuses on teaching science for conceptual understanding and investigating how college students conceptualize and explain the components of evolutionary theory

SUMMARY:Darwin Day Pho soup meetup at Viet Thai Cuisine (Horsham)
DESCRIPTION:What better way to celebrate Darwin day than meeting up with people who seem to have been created for each other. Some might say that this event is intelligently designed\, but we know Pho soup day has evolved into a good time for everyone.\nJoin Humanist Association of Greater Philadelphia at:\nPho soup meetup at Viet Thai Cuisine (Horsham) \nViet Thai Cuisine  \n160 Easton Road\, Horsham\, PA \nhttp://www.vietthaicuisine.com/ \nHere is a chance to get to know other Humanists and people who have similar interests in life.  This is an excellent way to meet members\, engage in some thought provoking conversation with like-minded people\, and get a feel for our community.  \nPho soup is a Vietnamese noodle soup consisting of broth\, linguine-shaped rice noodles called bánh pho\, a few herbs\, and meat. It is a popular street food in Vietnam and the specialty of a number of restaurant chains around the world. Pho is primarily served with either beef or chicken.  \nEating pho soup is a great occasion to share with others. The first people to arrive will make sure that the restaurant staff know we are having a gathering – so ask as you are being seated. \nWe’re looking forward to seeing you there. \nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pho \nAlthough it costs nothing to attend this event\, each person is responsible for paying for their own meal.

SUMMARY:Darwin Day Potluck and Dr. Andrew Thomson on "Why We Believe In God(s)"
DESCRIPTION:Our February meeting will be on Sunday\, February 8 from 6 to 8 pm in the Sanctuary/Commons. We will start with a potluck dinner to be followed by a talk by J. Anderson Thomson\, Jr.\, M.D.\, on “Why We Believe In God(s).” Dr. Thomson is a psychiatrist in private practice in Charlottesville\, Virginia. He is also a staff psychiatrist at Counseling and Psychological Services at the University of Virginia Student Health Services and the Institute of Law\, Psychiatry and Public Policy at the University of Virginia. In addition\, Dr. Thomson is the Treasurer of the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science. \nPresident Obama could hold a press conference and say\, “My fellow Americans\, I am pleased to announce that scientists\, including many of ours\, have unraveled the mystery of why human minds manufacture gods and believe in them. Some of the crucial work was even done at our National Institutes of Health. We can now dispense with all these dangerous\, stem cell opposing and terrorism inspiring beliefs. We and our fellow citizens of the world can now be who we are\, seven billion humans descended from a small group of hunter gatherers who lived in Africa seven hundred centuries ago.” \nFew people realize that cognitive neuroscience has mapped out how and why human minds produce\, accept and spread religious beliefs. This knowledge is available\, accessible\, and should be a required part of a 21st century education. This presentation will review the basic mechanisms human minds use to generate and sustain religious beliefs as well as the neurobiology of the rituals that reinforce them. There is a massive\, irreconcilable conflict between science and theistic religion. Religion was humanity’s original cosmology\, biology and anthropology. It provided explanations for the origin of the world\, life and humans. Science now gives us increasingly complete explanations for those big three. And\, science now gives us the anatomy of religious belief. \n For the potluck dinner\, please bring something to share. Suggestions: casseroles with a card explaining ingredients\, rice\, potatoes\, vegetable dishes\, bread\, fruit or dessert. Each dish should have enough for 8 – 10 people. Bring whatever YOU would like to drink.
