On Feb. 12, 2012, the Center for Inquiry-New York City and New York City Skeptics explored these and related questions with a panel discussion featuring prominent psychologists Laurie Santos, director of the Comparative Cognition Laboratory at Yale University, and Felix Warneken, Department of Psychology at Harvard University.

The Search for Cosmic Consciousness
Vic Stenger talks about the limits of science, and whether scientists should be critical of religion and the paranormal, or if such sorts of claims are out of the bounds of science, and therefore beyond criticism. Vic Stenger discusses the academic and spiritual career of Fritjof Capra, and his book The Tao of Physics and how it misused quantum physics to promote New Age mysticism.
Vic Stenger explores the implications of Deepak Chopra's work, which argues that quantum physics proves that "we make our own reality," and discusses the movies The Secret and What the Bleep Do We Know? and how they get quantum physics wrong.
Vic Stenger explains wave-particle duality, and the reductionistic Standard Model in particle physics, and why this contradicts the claims of the "quantum spiritualists." And he talks about the future of New Age mysticism and quantum spirituality.
In this weeks Honest Liar commentary, Jamy Ian Swiss revisits what happened in last week's episode to victims of the ancient con of the Three Card Monte.

Something From Nothing - a discussion
Join critically-acclaimed author and evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins and world-renowned theoretical physicist and author Lawrence Krauss as they discuss biology, cosmology, religion, and a host of other topics.
The authors will also discuss their new books. Dawkins recently published The Magic of Reality: How We Know What's Really True, an exploration of the magic of discovery embodied in the practice of science. Written for all age groups, the book moves forward from historical examples of supernatural explanations of natural phenomena to focus on the actual science behind how the world works.
Something From Nothing - a discussion w/ Richard Dawkins & Lawrence Krauss at ASU on Feb 4, 2012
Krauss's latest book, A Universe from Nothing: Why There is Something Rather than Nothing, explains the scientific advances that provide insight into how the universe formed. Krauss tackles the age-old assumption that something cannot arise from nothing by arguing that not only can something arise from nothing, but something will always arise from nothing.
Founded in 2008, the ASU Origins Project is a university-wide transdisciplinary initiative aimed at facilitating cutting edge research and inquiry about origins questions, enhancing public science literacy, and improving science education. Since its inception, the Origins Project has brought the world's leading scientists, including Nobel Prize winners, to Tempe to explore origins questions. The Origins Project has hosted workshops and public events that have focused on questions as fundamental as the origin of the universe, how life began, the origins of human uniqueness, and the origins of morality.

Moral Misfire
When apologists' far-fetched excuses inadvertently cause their beloved moral code to become totally irrelevant, they may feel free to get their moral advice from me, a life-long atheist. My morality requires very little explanation. It comes from empathy and the desire for a life of ease rather than instability and strife.

The headlines recently announcing no melting of Himalayan glaciers for the past 10 years are, no surprise, not entirely accurate or telling the whole story. That's what you get for learning your science from the popular press. The rest of the story is far more interesting. As usual, I look at the scientific paper all this hype is based on, and it comes up with something that hasn't been so widely reported....

Inside Nature's Giants : The Fin Whale
The team dissect a 65 foot, 60 ton fin whale, second only in size to its 'cousin' the blue whale. The whale died after being stranded off the coast of Ireland. It's a race against time as whale anatomist Joy Reidenberg flies in from New York before the animal's decomposition causes it to explode on the beach. Veterinary scientist Mark Evans helps investigate why the animal died and explores its extraordinary anatomy. Using whale size machinery, Joy and the team set to work amidst gale force winds, driving rain, blood and freezing conditions. Advancing tides threaten to engulf the whale as the team struggles to complete the dissection .
Beneath the blubber, the whale's unique anatomy holds vital clues to its evolution. Using a combination of dissection and computer graphics, the programme discovers an animal whose closest living relative is the hippo. Meanwhile, evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins explains why the whale's ancestors may have taken to the water and the evolutionary problems that had to be overcome to transform a land based mammal into an animal that is found in all the world's major oceans, and in waters ranging from the polar to the tropical.
The award winning series that gets under the skin of the largest animals on the planet. Inside Nature's Giants dissects these animals to uncover their evolutionary secrets. Most wildlife documentaries tell you how an animal behaves, but by dissecting an animal and studying its anatomy we can see how animals really work. Experts in comparative anatomy, evolution and behaviour will put some of the most popular and enigmatic large animals under the knife. Veterinary scientist Mark Evans will interpret their findings, biologist Simon Watts tests the animals physiology and Richard Dawkins traces back the animals place on the tree of life.

Happy New Year For Trees!
Wednesday, February 8th is Tu B'Shevat which is one of the four Jewish New Years. On Tu B'Shevat (literally the 15th of the month of Shevat) we celebrate the New Year for Trees and it is also thought to mark the beginning of Spring. In Israel, they welcome the beginning of Spring on the blossoming of the almond tree. In Israel this tree is always the first to blossom.
Even though it still feels like Winter, this tree gives us hope that Spring is on its way. Like how many of us have woes and worries and we think we're never going to escape our problems. Its Winter all the time. But then, right in the middle of winter, the almond blossoms to remind us that Spring is coming. There will be a bright morning. There is hope. We should not despair. Spring is coming.
Happy Tu B'Shevat to you all!

Origins Of Us - Brains
Dr Alice Roberts reveals how your body tells the story of human evolution. The way you look, think and behave is a product of a 6 million year struggle for survival. We have uncovered the secrets of the atom and travelled to the moon. But how did humans come to be so successful?
This series explores the anatomical changes that have given us, and our ancestors, the edge. Everything from the way that we walk, to the shape of our jaw and even the way our thumbs move connects us intimately to the struggles and triumphs of our ancestors. Yet many of those changes have come at a surprising cost and the problems we face now are a direct consequence of our evolutionary journey. As much about our bodies today as about our bodies 6 million years ago, Origins of Us will change the way you see yourself.

Joe Nickell - Why Investigate the Paranormal
Joe Nickell explains why he investigates the paranormal, as opposed to merely pronouncing his skepticism of it. Joe Nickell talks about his training as a detective and why it was formative, along with his background in magic. Joe Nickell explains why field experience is so important to scientific paranormal investigation. Joe Nickell distinguishes between skepticism and debunking, and what results from each approach.
Joe Nickell argues that the existence of the paranormal is not the only question to answer while conducting paranormal investigations. Joe Nickell explains why he continues investigating subjects he has already looked numerous times, such as ghosts, lake monsters and miracle claims, and why he spends time on the paranormal as opposed to other important topics. Joe Nickell talks about whether the supernatural claim that God exists should be a focus of the paranormal investigator. And Joe Nickell comments on the new trend of skeptical paranormal investigation groups starting up in cities throughout North America.

David Nash and Dr. Austin Dacey at Atheist Ireland's Secular Sunday
This is a video of a meeting, held on Sunday, 29th January 2012, and organised by Atheist Ireland, to discuss the new anti-blasphemy legislation introduced in Ireland, on 1st February, 2010, and why Atheist Ireland is campaigning to have this law repealed, along with the Constitutional requirement that 'The publication or utterance of blasphemous, seditious, or indecent matter is an offence which shall be punishable in accordance with law' .
The meeting was chaired by Michael Nugent, Chairman of Atheist Ireland, and the main addresses were made by Professor David Nash, professor of history at Oxford Brookes University and Dr Austin Dacey, representative to the United Nations for the International Humanist and Ethical Union.
This video is of the first part of the meeting. We hope to publish the second part -- the conversation with the audience -- as soon as possible.
Two days after the meeting, Prof. Nash and Atheist Ireland met with senior politicians at the Oireachtas, an event organised by Sen. Ivana Bacik, Reid Professor of Criminal Law, Criminology and Penology at Trinity College Dublin, to brief them about the negative international implications for Ireland if the law fails to be repealed.

Adam Rutherford meets a new creature created by American scientists, the spider-goat. It is part goat, part spider, and its milk can be used to create artificial spider's web. It is part of a new field of research, synthetic biology, with a radical aim: to break down nature into spare parts so that we can rebuild it however we please.
This technology is already being used to make bio-diesel to power cars. Other researchers are looking at how we might, one day, control human emotions by sending 'biological machines' into our brains.
