It’s time for another Flash! Philosophy event. This is when students present some tasy morsel of an idea – it could be something funny or serious, original or heard/read somewhere else, whatever or whatever. It’s mainly a chance for students (and faculty) to have fun discussing ideas. If you’re interested in presenting something – and you should be! – send Huenemann a note at charlie.huenemann@usu.edu.

The Utah State Secular Alliance and the InterVarsity Christian Fellowship are co-sponsoring a debate on God’s existence. The debate will be on Wednesday, February 8th, at 7 pm in the TSC Auditorium. All are welcome. USU Philosophy major Chasen Robbins will argue the affirmative, Eric Ethington will argue the negative, and Charlie Huenemann will moderate.
