TALK 1 PM EST at ATLANTA FREETHOUGHT HALL & on ZOOM
Why Science Works
Paul Broman
The Atlanta Freethought Society presents its resident amateur historian, Paul Broman, for a talk titled Why Science Works. Join us for a discussion of how and why science works, plus its history from the first ancient healers to today’s modern systematic, self correcting system that allows us to discover so many astonishing truths about our natural world. This includes discussing problems that have been identified with scientific methods over the course of history and how science adapted.
Paul will also discuss the increasing danger of science denial, which began centuries ago with disagreement over whether the earth revolves around the sun and today has found its way into disputes over evolution, climate change, vaccines, and even genders.
Paul is a life member of AFS who is well read and enjoys research of interest to freethinkers. His earlier talks were titledWhatever Happened to Deism? and The Decline of Natural Theology.

Atlanta Freethought Hall is a former Primitive Baptist Church, rebuilt in 1866 after the original structure was destroyed by General Sherman’s troops during the Civil War. Atlanta Freethought Society (AFS) was founded in 1985, which makes it one of Metro Atlanta’s oldest secular societies. AF Hall is the meeting place for several other organizations and we rent the building at reasonable rates. If you would like to rent the hall for an organization meeting, a party, a wedding, etc., please see an AFS Board Member. Our building is wheelchair accessible.
