SUMMARY:Creationism Vs Evolution Debate - Part 1 Event
DESCRIPTION:Bill Nye The Science Guy Vs Ken Ham. This debate is taking place at the Creation Museum. We will have a live feed of the debate at Ten Nightclub. The debate starts at 5 PM and doors will open at 4:30. Yes it is early\, but join us when you can. \nFollowing the debate\, we will move 2 blocks to The Pig and Duke for our regular Skeptics in The Pub. Who knows what we will talk about there… \nShould Bill Nye debate a creationist and give that view any credibility? Most people are saying no. Will this change any minds? Probably not. Am I interested in seeing this potential train wreck and will be yelling at the screen at the stupidity of arguments that will be taken seriously? Most likely. \nBill Nye created a YouTube video in 2012 taking aim at creationism and explained why evolution denial is detrimental to society. He is now the most well-known public intellectual fighting for Science. \n \nThis event is held at a licensed Night Club. All attendees must have valid government issued ID due to Alberta Liquor and Gaming Laws. There are no exceptions.   \nFor more information\, see the official meet-up event page.

SUMMARY:Lecture by Peter Boghossian author of A Manual for Creating Atheists
DESCRIPTION:HOW TO CONVERT BELIEVERS INTO ATHEISTS: CONTROVERSIAL PHILOSOPHER TO TEACH HIS METHOD OF DECONVERSION DURING PUBLIC LECTURE IN CALGARY \nDr. Peter Boghossian\, Author of “A Manual for Creating Atheists”\, will be speaking at Ten Nightclub on Sunday\, January 19 in Calgary\, Alberta. His book\, released on November 1\, 2013 is already a best seller in the categories of Philosophy\, Religious Studies\, and Spirituality on Amazon.com. Dr. Peter Boghossian is a Philosophy Professor at Protland State University and is a sought out speaker at major Skeptical\, Humanist and Atheist Conferences and Conventions. \nWhen asked what his goal was in writing “A Manual for Creating Atheists”\, he responded\, “My goal is literally to create a legion of people who go out wherever the faithful are found and in every interaction to help them come to reason and shed superstition\, irrationality and faith. That’s my goal. Literally to create a legion of people that will stop the tide of irrationality.” \nAmazon’s description of “A Manual for Creating Atheists”: \nFor thousands of years\, the faithful have honed proselytizing strategies and talked people into believing the truth of one holy book or another. Indeed\, the faithful often view converting others as an obligation of their faith–and are trained from an early age to spread their unique brand of religion. The result is a world broken in large part by unquestioned faith. As an urgently needed counter to this tried-and-true tradition of religious evangelism\, A Manual for Creating Atheists offers the first-ever guide not for talking people into faith–but for talking them out of it. Peter Boghossian draws on the tools he has developed and used for more than twenty years as a philosopher and educator to teach how to engage the faithful in conversations that will help them value reason and rationality\, cast doubt on their religious beliefs\, mistrust their faith\, abandon superstition and irrationality\, and ultimately embrace reason. \nDoors open at 2pm.  Lecture starts at 3pm.

SUMMARY:Movie Night: Life of Brian
DESCRIPTION:Monty Python’s The Life of Brian is a classic movie! It follows Brian\, who is born on the original Christmas\, in the stable next door. He then spends the rest of his life being mistaken for a messiah. Think of the song “Always look on the bright side of life\, doo doo….”. That comes from this movie! \n \nIt’s going to be a casual family friendly environment similar to the the great success we had with our Carl Sagan Day event. Relax on comfortable couches at Ten Nightclub as we project the movie. Hang out with friends and meet new friends in our Skeptical/Atheist/Humanist group! \nMovie night is back and will be a regular monthly event for CFI Calgary. If you have ideas for future movies or documentaries that you think our community would enjoy\, let us know in the comments. \nVisit our Facebook Event page.
