Date: November 26, 2009 - November 26, 2009November SFU Philosopher's Cafe
WHERE: Lynn Valley Main Library, Community Meeting Room, 1277 Lynn Valley Road, North Vancouver
Join our popular Philosopher's Cafe on November 18th at 7:00pm for an evening of wit, debate and discussion.
Our evening's topic is:
Is faith in God reasonable?
Everyone has a view on whether there is a God. Many people find great comfort in this view while admitting the evidence is shaky. We question not whether there is a God, but whether a good case can be made for having faith in God.
Moderator: Mark Battersby, PhD, has been teaching philosophy and critical thinking at Capilano University for over 30 years. He has also taught at UBC, SFU and Stanford universities. He is endlessly curious about humans and the world, and deeply committed to helping people think more reasonably about complex issues.
About the SFU Philosopher’s Café Series:
Comfortable surroundings for vibrant street level discussions on burning issues of the day. No formal philosophy training required; real life experience desired.
Philosophers' Cafés are organized by Interdisciplinary Programs in Continuing Studies at Simon Fraser University in cooperation with dedicated, peripatetic moderators.

A CD with songs about a kitchen dog ,a bear up a tree, a circus boy, a grandfather clock, a bird feeder, a dragon fly, a boy named Zachary, a wise old goat and a brand new shirt that’s not new at all, it must be a new CD from Norman Foote.
