You are concerned
that many adults accept, without question, superstition, New
Age flights of fancy, astrology, and other modes of uncritical
thinking as a fact of life.
You object to pressure
tactics of "creation science" groups that have caused
many science textbook publishers to eliminate or alter chapter
dealing with evolution and thus deprive our younger generation
of part of the wonderful story of nature.
You would like to
see that those who thoughtfully question pseudoscience and paranormal
claims receive as much media attention as do proponents and practitioners
of psychic "sciences", astrology, faith healing, and
other subjects of questionable validity.
You recognize that
exploring scientific explanations for what happens in this world
can be more exciting and meaningful than mystical speculation.
You want the opportunity
to meet and work with teachers, scientists, doctors, writers,
students, magicians and others who have interests similar to
your own. All are welcome to join and we can use your advice,
enthusiasm and expertise.
