The Folksong SIG will be meeting via Zoom during the COVID-19 shutdown. The default meeting dates will be the second and fourth Sundays of the month from 1:00-3:00 PM. It's very informal and includes guests. It's run as a Zoomenanny, a hootenanny on Zoom. We go around a virtual circle, taking turns. During your turn, you can sing, recite, play, request a song, or just listen. If you choose to sing, I'm willing to accompany your song on keyboard or guitar. If you wish to participate, please email Alan Stillson at astillson@sbcglobal.net for details. |

Science & Faith Series: Noah's Ark. Noah's Ark is one of the most extreme stories in the Bible. Is it an allegory or a real event? We will look at different interpretations of the story and the plausibility of it being a real event. We will then ask if there is any evidence that this event happened. It turns out there are a couple things in science that offer subtle support for the account - nothing close to compelling, but interesting. Chances are you've never heard what I'll be presenting. Join us for a fascinating discussion, rain or shine! Science & […] |

Science & Faith Series: Could There Be Other Universes?. There is an expression, All roads lead to Rome. In a similar way it can be said that among science-orientated people, All existence of God discussions lead to contemplating the Multiverse. This Sunday we will explore the possibility that there are other universes besides our own; a concept referred to as the Multiverse, for multiple universes. This idea is highly speculative since there is currently no way to measure or detect another universe and probably never will be. Big Bang cosmology strongly suggests there is something beyond our universe. Is it a […] The Folksong SIG will be meeting via Zoom during the COVID-19 shutdown.

Science & Faith Series: Is the Universe a Computer Simulation?. For centuries philosophers entertained the question of whether the universe is an illusion. A modern take on this question is whether the universe is a computer simulation, similar to the movie The Matrix. When researching this topic, I was shocked to see how much discussion is out there regarding us being in a computer simulation and how many people see this as a realistic possibility. The talk will first briefly address the illusion question and then move on to artificial intelligence. From there we'll dive into the computer simulation possibility which […] |

Science & Faith is a 20-part series that uses science and logic to look at the Bible, faith and spirituality. Each talk is mostly independent from prior week's so you can join anytime or attend occasionally.
