Hi, I'm David a 3rd-year grad student at Princeton Seminary. I wanted to start a group for people interested in exploring both Christianity and non-theism (Atheism & Agnosticism). In light of that, this group is not about proselytizing or arguing – but about exploring truth options together. Although this group is primarily for non-theists, open-minded Christians are welcome. UPDATE: I've been talking with Keith, the organizer of Atheist vs. Theist debates, and we decided that it would be benefi …

If you're passionate about fact-based thinking, here's your meetup. The degree to which we as individuals and as a society can successfully engage in fact-based thinking impacts everything we do.

Whether you are a scientist, a journalist, a politician, a corporate-decision maker, an educator, or just someone …

Plus digital universe simulations that I run of the Earth's place in the galaxy, and the galaxy's place in the universe. For example, on the tour of the Universe, we started in close, zoo …

We meet at the Sony Plaza at 550 Madison (between 55th and 56th) every first Saturday of the month at 2pm. We talk about why our best logic, experience, physics, (yes, even quantum mechanics) psychology and neuroscience all point to the inescapable conclusion that human beings DO NOT have a free will; we have a predetermined, causal will. What makes free will impossible? Logically, because everything happens for a reason, and every reason has a prior reason. Experientially, the simple fact tha …
