Science and the Supernatural: Neuroscience, Near-Death Experiences, and Eucharistic Miracles
Join us on Saturday, October 4 for our next Cooperator & Friends Workshop, featuring a fascinating three-part talk by Dr. David Neima, with intervening opportunities for group discussion. This event will explore the remarkable intersections between faith and science, highlighting recent discoveries and emerging evidence that resonate with core theological teachings, offering thought-provoking insights into the nature of the soul, near-death experiences, and medical investigations into Eucharistic miracles.
Dr. David Neima is a medical ophthalmologist who began his career in 1972. His background includes research in neurophysiology and several years as a general practitioner before specializing in ophthalmology. He continues to practice part-time and has participated in numerous medical mission trips. Married for 51 years, he and his wife have four children and four grandchildren. Raised in an atheist household, Dr. Neima became an evangelical Christian at university and entered the Catholic Church and the Work 32 years ago.
These workshops aim to deepen our understanding of Catholic doctrine. Unlike a retreat or recollection, which are intended to be more silent and reflective, a workshop offers an opportunity to engage with other men who are also striving to live their faith well in everyday life. The goal is to build intellectual confidence in understanding and defending the faith, with sessions designed to provide instruction in theology and philosophy applicable to ordinary life.
