Feb. 7th, 2013 - Movie Night: Creation
As Darwin Day approaches, we will be showing a movie about Charles Darwin. Creation is a film where naturalist Charles Darwin struggles to find a balance between his revolutionary theories on evolution and his relationship with his religious wife, whose faith contradicts his work. It is a psychological, heart-wrenching love story starring Paul Bettany as Charles Darwin. The film is based on “Annie’s Box,” a biography penned by Darwin’s great-great-grandson Randal Keynes using personal letters and diaries of the Darwin family. The film takes a unique and inside look at Darwin, his family and his love for his deeply religious wife, played by Jennifer Connelly, as Darwin struggles to finish his legendary book “On the Origin of Species,” which goes on to become the foundation for evolutionary biology.

Humanists Doing Good has arranged a second round of suicide prevention training with the Western Colorado Suicide Prevention Foundation at 619 Main Street at 1:30 pm. The training will last about 1 1/2 hours. Mesa County has the second highest suicide rate (34.4/100,000) in the state. That rate is 2 times the state rate and 3 times the national rate. In the training we'll look closely at the statistics before we go into training on how to respond to someone that may be at risk of suicide. Parking and entrance will be behind the building. You're invited to attend this special training. Please RSVP by calling 970-623-2598 or joining the event posting on facebook.
