In the contemporary marketplace of ideas, one can find responsible, objective, & evidence-based information on everything from foreign policy to hormone replacement therapy. Yet when it comes to some of our most fundamental questions -- about human values, the transcendent, or the borderlands of science -- one often only hears from partisans of traditional religion, New Age practitioners, or anti-science movements. With its local communities & public seminars, its network of scientists, philosophers & other thinkers, its grassroots advocacy & public education programs, & its popular & scholarly publications, the Center for Inquiry fills this gap, lending a credible voice to critical inquiry & the scientific outlook.
