Watch Skeptical Inquirer Presents on the Big Screen - Nate Pedersen

Why do so many people believe in things like Bigfoot, astrology, and ancient aliens—even when the evidence (or lack thereof) is hilariously clear? Pseudoscience might be nonsense, but our fascination with it is very real.

📅 Date: Thursday, June 12, 2025
🕕 Time: Doors open at 6:00 PM | Livestream at 7:00 PM
📍 Location: Center for Inquiry WNY – 1310 Sweet Home Rd, Amherst
☕ Café Hour: Enjoy coffee, snacks, and casual conversation before the show

Join us for a special screening of Skeptical Inquirer Presents, featuring Nate Pedersen, coauthor of Pseudoscience: An Amusing History of Crackpot Ideas and Why We Love Them. Pedersen will guide us through the weird and wonderful history of humanity’s strangest beliefs, exploring why pseudoscientific ideas have such staying power and what that says about our culture, psychology, and need for wonder.

🗣️ After the livestream, stick around for a laid-back group discussion in our reading room. Share your favorite (or most baffling) pseudoscience stories!

🎟️ Admission is free. Everyone’s welcome.
