As a science lover and humanist (and therefore the target audience), I'm still kind as of bothered by the fact that this meeting is being held in the Science Center. I know that the two often correlate, but scientific progress has been hampered for centuries by people assuming that science = atheism, when in fact I know many religious people who are super-awesome scientists, and God and science are more mutually exclusive than antagonists. :/

(Not to bash, it looks interesting, I was just taken aback by the location - this seems like something that would be better held in a philosophy building.)

Religious meetings and all kinds of other non-science-related meetings are also held in the Science Center--it's a relatively low-cost venue that's open to all area non-profit groups.

The Science Center is just a place with large auditoriums that are suitable for large meetings, especially if any films or slides are to be shown.
