Conversations @ the Corner Cafe (C3) is a gathering of regular people like yourself who meet to have a friendly, respectful conversation about current events, pop culture, the arts, philosophy, ethics, history, science and how these intersect with religion and spirituality. C3 is absolutely free. However we are asking those who attend to be good patrons and plan to purchase some of the great food prepared by the folks at Italia's Corner Cafe. C3 will provide the first two bottles of wine for those who attend.

    “Faith is the great cop-out” says Richard Dawkins, author of The God Delusion, “...the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence.” Is religion a hindrance to scientific progress? Does it teach us to be satisfied with not understanding our world and universe? Can science give us a reason for our existence or a reason to be moral? Are science and faith compatible?

    Drs. Michael Pollack and Judith Pollack will join our open forum to discuss these and other matters pertaining to science and faith.

    The God Delusion
    Is there a God or Gods? Are there moral absolutes? Which religion is correct? Is there life after death? What is truth? Do humans have freewill? What is freewill? What is sin? Is Jesus the Christ? Did Jesus die for all or for some? Why do Christians follow only some laws? What is the difference between Mormans and Christians? By Faith or Works? Who has authority? Divine Tradition and Sacred Scripture? Purgatory? What is life? What is salvation? Evolution or Creation? If there is a God, why is there suffering? Contridiction in the bible? Christians worship three gods? Why the atonement? What is holiness? How can God let bad things happen to good people? Are humans good or evil by nature? What is indwelling sin? What will heaven look like? What will the antichrist be? When is the End of Time? Global warming?
