In a contemporary academic context, it is generally and implicitly assumed that science is a methodologically strict discipline free of cultural and religious influences. In this workshop, this assumption is exposed, examined and challenged. Prominent scientists and medical practitioners in the areas of Brain Science, Molecular Biology, and Chinese Medicine will present revolutionary works showing how the brain and life function in ways that go profoundly at odds with some fundamental notions in the mainstream sciences, which are deeply rooted in a God-based worldview. Philosophical and ethical reflections are made from a trans-cultural perspective regarding who we are and what we will be as selves and persons living and acting in a universe depicted by sciences reinvigorated in and connected to a Godless intellectual tradition.
