TOWARD A SCIENTIFIC PROOF OF GOD

Where/When: In person and online, through ZOOM* and in person at Unity of Richmond, 800 Blanton Avenue, Richmond, VA 23221, on Saturday, October 18, 2025, 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon, with Potluck Lunch at conclusion.

Program: “Towards a Scientific Proof of God.” Our program will feature a talk by Nelson Marquina, MSc, PhD, DC, President, Founder and Chief Science Officer of Laser Biotech International. In his previous presentations to our group, Nelson has focused primarily on the effects of electromagnetic fields (EMF) on the physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual experiences of humanity, including the potentially hazardous effects of certain types of EMF, such as those to which we are routinely exposed through our daily use of the current generation of cell phones and Wi-Fi technology (5G). Nelson’s early encounters with shamans in the Peruvian Andes helped shape and influence his view of the world and his later interests in biophysics, psychology, healthcare, and science generally. Those shamanic encounters in his native land also led him to an appreciation of unseen realms, to a perspective that everything in creation is an expression of divine spirit, and a desire to more meaningfully connect the realm of physical matter with the realm of spirit than conventional scientific materialism/physicalism usually allows. Nelson’s presentation will offer a conceptual overview of astrophysics, brain neurology, and the biophysics of electromagnetic fields (EMF) to explore the connections between the human nervous system, human consciousness, and the experience of being alive. He also will explore conceptual and practical models to explain the dynamics of our higher consciousness levels, both as metaphors and experiential tools. The presentation will include questions about the nature of the self, the nature of reality at its most fundamental levels, and the nature of what we refer to as the divine, that may have surprising implications and lessons for all of us, with a goal to more fully explain human experience and to prove or disprove (your choice) the existence of God.

About Our Presenter: Dr. Nelson Marquina was born in Perú and now lives in Richmond where he is the Chief Science Officer of Laser Biotech International. He earned a Master of Science in mathematical statistics from Worcester Polytechnical Institute and doctoral degrees in systems engineering from the University of Houston and in chiropractic medicine from Logan University. He also extensively trained in the US and in Japan in acupuncture and energetic medicine which qualified him to be certified by the Virginia Board of Medicine in Asian Meridian therapy, and Korean and Japanese acupuncture. Nelson is a former Senior Scientist at NASA/Johnson Space Center and he has served on the faculties of the University of Houston in Systems Engineering, Virginia State University in Biophysics, the University of Rhode Island and University of Minnesota in Electrical Engineering, and Logan University as the director of research. He also held engineering and management positions with GE, Honeywell and Lockheed Electronics in research and development in US government and NASA related projects. He has conducted seminars in technical and healthcare areas across the US and in countries such as Japan, China, Australia, Perú, Argentina, and Canada. His website is www.laserbiotech.com.
