Even though the theory of evolution has been around the last 150 years, within the last few decades it has re-emerged as the framework in which to evaluate the sciences and philosophy. The purpose of this group is to explore the hard and soft sciences as well as philosophy with respect to evolution's influence on those topics.

We decided to start the group because it’s hard to find people who are happy to share their intellect and perspectives on being atheist. This group is not just to talk about religions or our atheist/ agnostic views but to hang out and have fun with people who share similar interests. This group is not for judgmental people who want to criticize other religions, but for those who want to educate each other on strengthening atheist beliefs and or educating each other on different religions, and or …

These are important spiritual questions; however, they are questions that are just as important to science and our knowledge of the the universe we live in. For as long as mankind has existed, people from all walks of life, all levels of belief and all levels of education have reported experiencing "something" spiritual.
