Science and Reason of Hampton Roads (SRHR) is a new
organization, founded in the spring of 2000 in Norfolk,
VA, consisting of both scientists and non-scientists alike,
who are dedicated to promoting genuine science, the
scientific method, rational thinking, and the use of genuine
logic and reason in the examination of dubious and
extraordinary claims.
Experimental science and rationalism does not accept claims
without examination, and subjects all authority to
scrutiny. It uses logic, analytical thinking, and
appropriate evidence to answer human questions, and welcomes
the open testing of its own conclusions by other
investigators.
Science and rationality are NOT dedicated to
confrontation, "debunking", or to attacking religion and belief
systems. The use of the scientific method, and its
companion tool, statistical analysis, are nothing more than
very effective ways to investigate and explain the physical
and human world around us. And that is what we are
dedicated to.
