Welcome to the website Skeptical Society of St. Louis.  We are an organization committed to the evidence-based examination of the extraordinary claims of religion, the paranormal, alternative medicine and all other areas of fringe and pseudo-science.  We promote critical thinking, education, and the rigorous application of the tools of science to improve the quality of life in our communities.  Society membership is open to scholars, scientists, educators, philosophers, and anyone else with an interest in learning about, discussing, and advancing skepticism and the scientific worldview.

Another mission of the society is to write position papers to be distributed to educators, journalists, and legislators to present our views on relevant issues.  We believe that critical thinking and science need to have a voice to prevent them from being marginalized when important decisions are made that have effect us all. 

All of our meetings are open to members and non-members alike. We hope that if, like us, you feel that science is a precious part of human society and that no claims should be free from critical examination you will come to a meeting and learn more about our organization.  See our calendar page for information about upcoming events.
