Aaron Davies, born into and raised in the Jehovah’s Witness religion for 25 years, will be talking about his path out from the religious organisation. He will be discussing what compelled him to make such a big change in his life, focusing on the overwhelming evidence for biological evolution without theistic intervention. Other points of discussion include: How is something determined to be a fact in a modern scientific world? Is living a life without a God less satisfying and fulfilling? Is hope a beneficial trait to have and what factor does it play in decision making? What are the consequences for leaving such a powerful religion behind, and what effect does it have on mental health?
