Abstract
In its always hasting development, scientific discourse has often revolutionized it-
self to reconsider its paradigms. In a world that discover itself everyday more informa-
tionally and ontologically interconnected, the traditional dichotomies are crumbling,
pressed by the need of broader systematic articulation. The same age-old distinction
between science and religion, in the new technological ecosistem where spiritual hopes
and anxieties intermingle with scientific fact and fiction, urge for a new framework to
open up new possibilities of dialogue. We will discuss some of these new perspectives,
such as the transhumanist “Apocalyptic AI” movement and the “New Animism” of
system theory enthusiasts, to explore how different perspectives on the scientific dis-
courses of the past – with a particular focus on evolution theory – influence our spiri-
tual tension to the future, aiding the analysis with some insights emerging from a new
field of scienfitic inquiry on religion: Neurotheology.
