Science’s Dead End, Religions’ Opening, and a Restart for Meaning
“Exploring the Unexplained in Life, Death, and Beyond.”
The modern scientific view of life is purely mechanistic and DNA-driven. I argue against that materialist perspective promoted by scientists, which reduces human existence to biochemical processes with a genetic foundation. I aim to present a number of behavioral phenomena inconsistent with materialism and evolution; highlight the failures of genomic searches to confirm DNA origins for many traits and diseases; and finally explore religious/mystical experiences as potential evidence for alternative and religious viewpoints. I've structured my work in three parts, all together critiquing scientific materialism and advocating for consideration of different perspectives on the nature of life and meaning. This book is a more accessible version of my previous academic-oriented publication (Meaning Beyond Molecules and Hubris), and focused on encouraging readers to simply question the prevailing scientific narrative and also consider broader explanations for life and consciousness.
