lprovenReminder for those that way inclined: tomorrow night is the next Skeptics in the Pub.
Title:
Confessions of an Ex-Creationist
When:
16.03.2009 19.00 h
Where:
The Penderel's Oak - London
Matt Parker will be candidly discussing what Creationists believe, why some normal people are convinced by them and how he feels about all of this - specifically in the context of being a Maths and Science teacher.
Matt grew up in a conservative Christian family and attended a church where the Bible was taken as the literal word of God, even in the matters regarding the creation of the Universe. A series of events at school and university have since turned him into the jaded sceptic he is today but it has left him with a unique insight into Creationism culture.
Matt Parker is best described as a Stand-up Mathematician who does everything in his power to make more people excited about Mathematics.
When he’s not doing his Maths routine around the country, Matt finds time to be a ‘normal’ teacher in a London secondary school, educating young people in the way of Maths and Physics. His favourite number is currently 496.
