García addresses superstitions in lecture 
series June 16, 2006

David Russell García presents a series of Friday talks at the Biblioteca Pública that examine unrealistic superstitions some have been taught as true and real. Some such superstitions have become obstacles to the progress of modern science where, in many fields, we have run up against brick walls. Other superstitious beliefs lead us into devastating wars, social strife and economic injustice. Yet other superstitions work to ruin our lives personally.

The beliefs that only matter is real, that randomness and accident exist as we imagine them, that the evolution of the universe is aimless and not directed toward the formation of intelligent life, that there is no free will-these are just some of the superstitions that will be proven false (as explained in Garcia's book, Questioning Assumptions). 

The free talks take place on Fridays from 5 to 6:45pm, in the Sala Quetzal at the Biblioteca Pública, starting June 16. About 45 minutes of talk will be followed by a one-hour question-and-answer session.
