The convergence of religion with highly imaginative future science and technologies will be explored in the Turing Church online workshop 2 on Sunday, December 11 in teleXLR8, a 3D interactive video conferencing space.

The Turing Church is a working group on science and religion. All speakers of the 2010 Turing Church online workshop 1 will participate.

Among the new speakers is Brent Allsop, who will present the Consciousness Survey Project at Canonizer.com, an open survey system enabling large crowds to communicate with everyone concisely and quantitatively. As more leading people in this field contribute to this survey process, the results get ever more surprising, exciting and comprehensive. (People that have already contributed in various degrees to this project include Steven Lehar, David Chalmers, Marvin Minsky, Stuart Hameroff, and John Smythies.)
