Why Everyone Should Be Religious
Ross Douthat (New York Times)
The theme of the conference was critical issues at the intersection of science and faith. There were talks on the origins of the human race from a scientific and from a theological point of view, whether Neanderthals were rational, free will and the brain, neuroscience, the James Webb Space Telescope, mathematics and God, near-death experiences, Eucharistic miracles, and much else.
The eighth annual conference of the Society of Catholic Scientists was held on June 6-8, 2025, at the Catholic University of America.
