Fayetteville Freethinkers

(Updated 8/30/10)

We are the Fayetteville Freethinkers, a loose knit skeptical club formed in Fayetteville Arkansas in 1998.

Our Fayetteville Freethinker meetings are regularly held on the last Saturday of each month at the Fayetteville library, at 2:00 pm (except for July and December). Our next freethinker meeting will be September 25. Information about future meetings (as they develop) and past meetings (including summaries and links) are posted in our forum here.

We had a very full room with 72 attending our August meeting.

For further details about our latest meetings, events and all past meetings see the notices posted in our forum here.

Here is a little of what happened at recent meetings:

We watched one of the most beautiful films ever made of our Earth, titled simply: Home. One of the interesting things about this film is it was paid for by sponsors and given to the world for free. You can watch it from your computer in high definition. You can read more about how it was made here.
We paid tribute to the long and productive life of the great skeptic leader Martin Gardner who passed away in May at age 95. Scientific American has a very nice article "about him here."
Emily Kaitz sang one of her irreverent songs, "Blue Light Special."
We talked about Billboard display (see picture above). To read about how this campaign went and learn and the local freethought groups involved see the new Northwest Arkansas Coalition of Reason website.
Another freethinker group in the area is FreethoughtNWA. Check out their website. They have lots of news of interest to freethinkers.
An entire meeting has been recorded and it has been uploaded for you to view online. Thanks to Juju!
Darrel Henschell gave a presentation about health care systems around the world, based upon the new book Healing of America: A Global Quest for Better, Cheaper, and Fairer Health Care. The notes for his lecture, along with links, can be viewed in our forum here. A PBS Frontline episode, based upon this book, can be viewed online here.
Doug Krueger gave a presentation entitled "What Must We Do to be Saved?" He addressed the question: Does the Bible clearly and unequivocally tell us what someone must do in order to be saved? The slides for his presentation can be downloaded here.
Felix gave a presentation describing what was going on in these beautiful pictures of the sun.

Information regarding our past meetings and future meetings can be read in our forum. Feel free to join the discussions in our forum.
