Facts, Values and a Place for the Profound: A conversation with Sam Harris
Can We Ever Be Right about Right and Wrong?
October 3-6, 2008
Salk Institute for Biological Studies, La Jolla
Beyond Belief: Candles in the Dark is the third in an annual series of conversations: an ongoing project to foster and promote the use of reason in formulating social policy. This year, we asked participants to propose a Candle—a potential solution to a problem that they have identified in their area of expertise or informed passion.
The Four Horsemen
On the 30th of September 2007, Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens sat down for an unmoderated 2-hour discussion, convened by The Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science and filmed by Josh Timonen. In this conversation the group trades stories of the public’s reaction to their recent books, their unexpected successes, criticisms and common misrepresentations. They discuss the tough questions about religion that face the world today and propose new strategies for going forward.

Atheists Battle Against Religion
This week, the Supreme Court heard arguments in a case brought by a group of atheists who claim the Bush administration’s Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives violates the separation of church and state. It’s just one example of how atheists are becoming increasingly assertive — arguing not only that religion is false, but also a threat to civilization.

Beyond Belief: Science, Religion, Reason and Survival
Just 40 years after a famous TIME magazine cover asked “Is God Dead?” the answer appears to be a resounding “No!” This is a critical moment in the human situation, and The Science Network in association with the Crick-Jacobs Center brought together an extraordinary group of scientists and philosophers to explore answers to these questions. The conversation took place at the Salk Institute, La Jolla, CA from November 5-7, 2006.
