… in the sophisticated humor and musical wit of Richard Milner, producer, writer and star of “Charles Darwin, Live & In Concert.” Rex Reed called Richard’s songs “clever and witty,” and Tony Randall called them “absolutely wonderful.” A serious Darwin scholar, student of anthropology and for years Senior Editor at Natural History magazine (where he edited the “This View of Life” columns of his childhood friend Stephen J. Gould), Richard is a prolific author, most recently of the encyclopedic Darwin’s Universe: Evolution from A to Z, which Michael Shermer calls “the single best volume ever published that covers all matters Darwinian from A to Z.” Learn more at http://darwinlive.comVote for the Dumbthest
… while spending a delightful evening meeting and mingling with your fellow humanists, skeptics and rationalists. And cast the final ballots in the election of the Fifth Annual SHSNY Dumbth Award, for the most clueless, reality-denying and/or logic-defying statement of 2009. Will the Pope take the horse’s-ass trophy for saying condoms worsen the spread of AIDS? Or Dana Perino for announcing there were no terrorist attacks on the U.S. during the Bush administration? Or … you decide: we have six worthy candidates, and we’re going to have a lot of fun at their expense.Sponsored By:

Reasonable New York is a consortium of local reason-based organizations and people working together to increase awareness of secular-minded movements throughout the Greater New York area. We aim to inform New Yorkers that there is a community of people who share a rational basis for their worldviews, who attend intellectual public lectures, enjoy philosophy discussions, and socialize. We invite you to visit our various member groups, to contact any of those in which you are interested, and check out our calendar to attend gatherings of any of our organizations, many of which are free. Some of these events are also posted on our shared meetup site.
