Is there any evidence that God exists? Or that Jesus is His divine Son? Or is Christian belief just a matter of having faith? This course examines the historical and scientific evidence, and the philosophical arguments in support of God's existence and the divinity of Jesus. Topics include the Cosmological Argument; Fine-Tuning Argument; Moral Argument; Near-Death Experiences; reliability of Gospel accounts; and non-biblical evidence. This course is not doctrinal. It examines these questions from historical, scientific, and philosophical viewpoints and is intended for both religious and non-religious people who have an intellectual curiosity about the basis for Christian beliefs.

Colonel Saul will present a short history of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, which consisted of volunteers who formed the segregated Japanese-American army combat unit. Over 12,000 Nisei (second-generation Japanese American) volunteers answered the call. 2,686 from Hawaii and 1,500 from mainland U.S. internment camps assembled at Camp Shelby, Mississippi, in 1943 for a year of infantry training. Many soldiers from the continental U.S. had families in internment camps in the USA while they fought abroad. The 442nd fought in some of the fiercest battles of WW II and became the highest decorated unit in the war. The unit's motto was "Go for Broke."

When you think of Mexican cocktails, what most likely comes to mind is a Margarita or well-chilled Corona. But from the pineapple-based "Matador" to the grapefruit derived "Chihuahua", there are SO many other ways to enjoy the combination of tropical fruit, tequila, and ice. Join us on the home patio of OLLI member Susan Carley as spirit master Charles Smith demonstrates how to make a variety of Mexican cocktails. Tastings of these beverages and samplings of Mexican appetizers will make this a fun evening. What better way to prepare for OLLI's March '25 excursion to Mexico!
