Dear friends in faith and science:

We meet once again this Friday from 4-5pm at the Center for Christian Study. This week we’ll discuss chapter 5 of Christopher Hitchens’ book, God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything. The chapter is entitled “The Metaphysical Claims of Religion are False” and serves as a nice counterpoint to our last discussion of “Materialism as an Anti-Religious Myth,” by Stephen Barr. The reading is attached.

I also chose Christopher Hitchens for our reading because we’ve been talking about him around here this week anyway. As you all may know, students and others packed out the Study Center Monday night to hear Ralph Wood talk about “Christopher Hitchens and G. K. Chesterton: New Atheist vs. Old Convert.” If you missed the talk, that will be up on our website shortly. (And if you haven’t read Chesterton, he’s well worth your time.)

Please join us on Friday—and bring a friend, if you can. I’ll look forward to our conversation.

Warm regards,

Bill
