Who says online arguments are worthless? All right, so it probably depends on what you're arguing about and who you're arguing with, but even arguing with a bunch of astrologers over whether there's any proof for astrology can teach you something. If nothing else, it can teach you how not to construct a valid argument over scientific evidence. Join Jason Thibeault (http://www.lousycanuck.ca/) and Stephanie Zvan (http://almostdiamonds.blogspot.com/) as they discuss what evidence there is for and against astrology, what evidence would be required to prove astrology, and what might happen if astrology were proven true.

Who better to explain humanism than the board members of the Minnesota Humanism? I will be at the State Fair for a discussion on the definitions and implications of humanism with Scott Lohman, Nathan Curland and Dale Handeen. We will have an open microphone, too, for you to come up and ask questions of humanists. What do we believe? What don't we believe? Are all humanists also atheists? If secular humanism is classified as a religion by the Supreme Court, how are schools allowed to teach evolution ? Do humanists get as dizzy as regular people on The Scrambler or are they protected by their rationality?
We know the answers to some, but not all of these questions and we invite you to join us at the KTNF booth at the State Fair prior to your day of stuffing yourself and checking out lambs being born.

Who better to explain atheism than the board members of the Minnesota Atheists? I will be at the State Fair for a discussion on the definitions and implications of atheism with George Kane, August Berkshire and Laura Hutt. We will have an open microphone, too, for you to come up and ask questions of atheists. What do we believe? What don't we believe? If there is no God, then who made everything? (Sorry, that's a trick question.) What is the best approach to discuss issues with believers? How many angels can dance on a stick at the State Fair.
