On Tuesday evening I received a call from my friend John. It was good news as he had managed to obtain 2 tickets for the Darwin Day Lecture, How To Make A Human which takes place on 12 February 2014, https://humanism.org.uk/civi/?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/event/info&page=CiviCRM&id=41&snippet=2. I have some issues with Humanism (the lecture is hosted by The British Humanist Association) but, none the less the event promises to be an interesting one.
As an aside, for anyone who is interested, my issue with Humanism is that many Humanists are, in my experience just as dogmatic in their assertions regarding the non-existence of God as religious people are in their’s that he exists. I am, in contrast an agnostic, one who sits on the fence. The only problem with sitting on the fence is, of course that I risk getting splinters in a rather delicate place!

You should enjoy it Kevin, Professor Alice Roberts is a great lecturer and very knowledgeable in her field. I had the pleasure of going to a Humanist lecture by Jim Al-Khalili in Manchester last November 🙂
Many thanks for your comment Chris. My friend Brian says the same thing, that Alice Roberts is an interesting speaker. I am looking forward to hearing her lecture. Kevin
it will be interesting to hear your reactions to the lecturer – here’s to hoping there aren’t too many splinters in that fence!
I plan to post after having attended the lecture. Don’t worry, I will take tweezers with me to deal with any splinters …! Thanks for your comment. Kevin
