Philo Agora's talk next Tuesday, April 27 , will be in fact, a
debate Ian Bryce vs Peter Bowden: Atheism will never win the battle
with religion
The debate will ask whether religion or atheism will prevail in
capturing everybody's beliefs in the long term.
Ian, Sydney's well known proselytizer for atheism and a regular
PhiloAgora attendee will lock words with Peter Bowden, a solid
Huxley agnostic, tending to Dawkins, about whether the rational
arguments for the non existence of God will ever convince the bulk
of ordinary every day people to give up religion. Ian says that
common sense and intelligence must win out. Bowden says it never will
- religious beliefs are wired into us. A toss of the coin will decide
the first speaker
Tuesday April 27 at the Fair Trade Coffee House, 33 Glebe Point
Road, Glebe, $3.00 per person (apologies... no longer includes a cup
