Richard Dawkins - 10/30/2006, 8:00 pm Special Event Richard Dawkins In conversation with Roy Eisenhardt Monday, October 30, 2006 at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco, CA. I expect that the discussion will focus on The God Delusion which is the most recent book by Richard Dawkins. The talk is part of the City Arts http://www.cityarts.net/ program. I have just received a copy of The God Delusion and have read the first chapter. I expect the arguments which Dawkins makes about the nature of religion and for atheism will be in general familiar to every one on this list. However in the first chapter I think Dawkins does a really good job of discussing the term "religion" and how it is often misused. Also Dawkins does an excellent job of explaining Einstein's use of the term and how many theists misquote or selectively quote Einstein in an effort to make him appear to be a theist. If you can not make the event in San Francisco then you might be able to hear a rebroadcast on radio http://www.cityarts.net/radio.html. Dawkins will also be at Keplers in Menlo Park on Oct 29 see: http://www.keplers.com/?sec=programs-events&subsec=calendar Fred From mark_galeck at pacbell.net Mon Oct 2 09:22:59 2006 From: mark_galeck at pacbell.net (Mark Galeck) Date: Mon, 2 Oct 2006 02:22:59 -0700 Subject: [Exi-bay-announce] Oct 30 - Richard Dawkins In conversation withRoy Eisenhardt In-Reply-To: <1159754915.4895.274.camel@localhost.localdomain> Message-ID: <004201c6e604$5b373440$dc756945@andromeda> Any people want to carpool from Sunnyvale?

Amara is going to be in town the last week of October, so I and a couple others are talking about a time to get together for a dinner or something. I don't know what exact days Amara will be here, perhaps she will comment. It has been suggested we hit Passands in Santa Clara, being as there is stuff there for vegetarians if we have any, and if you don't do spices they have some mild edibles there, and they can do groups of a dozen easily. It is close by several of the usual suspects: Lee, Eliezer, Samantha, Adrian, J.Andrew, Melanie Swan, all live somewhere near there methinks. Countersuggestions welcome as we are still in the pre-sketchy phase. Amara if you have a fave in the hood, do suggest. It would be cool to hit Keplers together and talk books on the 29th either in addition to or instead of the dinner. spike -----Original Message----- From: exi-bay-announce-bounces at lists.extropy.org [mailto:exi-bay-announce-bounces at lists.extropy.org] On Behalf Of Fred C.

So one can be bad but not have a bad. Otherwise we would need a plural form, presumably bads. Then we must form an adjective from the noun, so that anything that is ungood would be "badlike", which sounds as though one is trying to say "approximately bad".

I have been away on business all week so I lost the thread. We were talking about meeting on Sunday the 29th? Or Monday the 30th? At a Mexican place across the street from the bookstore? If anyone has the details please post the proposed time and place along with street addresses of the bookstore and the restaurant. I apologize for not being more organized on this, had an unexpected trip to the east all week, might hafta go back again next week, in which case Monday evening is iffy for me but Sunday is wide open. {8-[ Also please hit reply all so I get the messages at my home.

Dear Extropes, I'll be in the US, in particular, Southern California, for 3/4 of October and the early part of November, in part to attend the DPS (*).

I suggest getting to Kepler's early if you want to get a place to sit (and maybe even get in) since the Monday Oct 30 evening event in San Francisco is sold out.

A few of us found each other at the event. Fred, Peter, Mark, Amara, Samanatha, Russell, Shelly and I went to a Chinese place across the street from Keplers. The originally proposed burrito place was closed but we managed to create some spontaneous order out of chaos.
