Science Logic and Faith: Are we alone in the universe?
Science Logic and Faith: Are we alone in the universe?
We will start by examining what is the likelihood intelligent extraterrestrial life exists? How unique is earth and the sun? If there is advanced intelligent life around another star, could we detect it? Could we travel to it or it to us? Could we even communicate with it? What would be the risks of doing so? What about non-carbon-based life? A discussion of UFOs will be saved for the following week. The meetings are open to those of all beliefs and perspectives, not limited to Mensa, and are promoted in several ways so you will meet a diverse audience. When: Sunday […]

Science Logic and Faith: UFOs
Science Logic and Faith: UFOs
There is a lot of hype regarding UFOs. I’m a science and logic guy, not a hype and speculation guy. This talk will be a rigorous and methodological approach to UFOs. You may find the material and analysis surprisingly different from other presentations you’ve heard. Part of my preparation for this topic was interviewing a family member regarding two separate events that happened over 50 years ago. This is the last meeting before summer break. The meetings are open to those of all beliefs and perspectives, not limited to Mensa, and are promoted in several ways so you will meet a […]
