October Service

Our next regular monthly service will be on Sunday, October 3rd, 2010.   We are pleased to be hosting at our next service guest speaker Mr. Johnny Tan, motivational speaker and author.  Mr. Tan, after emigrating to the US from Malaysia and working in the restaurant industry for 18 years, came to understand the paramount importance of unconditional love.  Using the analogy of physiical sustenance through cooking and drawing on the "mothering" he received from 9 women in his life, Mr. Tan wrote a book summarizing his message, "From My Mama's Kitchen: Food for the Soul, Recipes for Living." Mr. Tan will speak at our October 3rd service and sign copies of his book for sale.  (See also www.frommymamaskitchen.com )So come enjoy fellowship and hear an inspiring message at our next monthly celebration of religious doubt.  And bring the kids too because we'll show them a good time as well!  The service starts at 10:30 AM at the DFW Wyndham Airport North.  Come a bit earlier for coffee and conversation and plan to join us afterwards for lunch too!

Welcome to the North Texas Church of Freethought!

The North Texas Church of Freethought is a Fellowship of Unbelievers.  We do what all the other churches do, but with one less god.  Our aim is to offer atheists, agnostics, humanists, and freethinkers all the educational, inspirational, and social and emotional benefits of traditional faith-based churches.  We do this by preaching Freethought, a rational approach to religious questions of life, love, meaning, and happiness.  Our growing community of freethinkers provides a positive, affirming environment for leading a good life, free of the illogic and intolerance of other religions based on holy books and supernaturalism.

Our regular service takes place on the first Sunday of every month at the Wyndham DFW Airport North. Plan to arrive at 10:00 AM for coffee and fellowship, followed by our service from 10:30 AM until 12:00 PM. We encourage parents to bring their children to participate in our freethinking "Sunday School," where they will learn about the wonders of the real world and how to live life sensibly and well. We encourage you also to join us afterwards at The Golden Corral at the Grapevine Mills mall where most of eat and chat for up to several hours. If you've missed our service for the month, catch up by downloading our latest bulletin, subscribe to our email newsletter, subscribe to our podcast or listen to it on iTunes. You can also now find us on Meetup.com!

If you have questions about the NTCOF, they've probably been answered at our FAQ. If not, please drop us a line by email or voicemail. We hope to see you soon!

150 Years of Natural Selection Print
Written by Zachary Moore

It was 150 years ago today that Charles Darwin published "On the Origin of Species," a book that he considered to be only an abstract summary of the theory he had been developing since he returned to Britain from his voyage on the HMS Beagle in 1836.

Darwin's theory has continued to develop and evolve since his time, with a steady stream of new discoveries and observations about our natural world influencing the science of evolution, just as it does in every other scientific field. Most notably, the development of genetics provided a robust molecular mechanism of change, measurable to the individual nucleotide, with which we can track individual mutations and correlate them with expressed phenotypes in many different species. This "modern synthesis" is made all the more relevant with the birth of the Genomic Era, in which the entire DNA landscape of dozens of species are now easily viewable and downloadable from any computer in the world.

And yet the basic concepts that are the foundation of evolutionary theory (shared ancestry, development of novel forms, and the relationship of humans to other species) are easily communicated to and understood by small children. Kate Miller of Charlie's Playhouse has assembled the following video that demonstrates this easily:
