Curious Thinker

  • Fundamental stuff; the deeper the better. No-go theorems, undecidability,..

  • The future: demographics, social justice with industry 4.0 & AI,...

  • Application of Physics & Math to problems of everyday life

  • How can faith/churches be tangible, of scientific integrity and relevant for society?

Dialogue between science and religion

I actively engage in a constructive dialogue between science and religion.

I equally value empiricism, faith, self-consistency, logic, and theological arguments and think that both "magisteria" benefit from a respectful dialogue. My contributions comprise a symposium about the relevance of the church in the 21st century (a bit more here) and much more during my time (2015-2021) as a board member of a local church in Switzerland, e.g., advocacy for science and LGBTQ+, empowerment and individual responsibility instead of pastor centricity etc.

Reading groups

In 2019 I initiated a reading group for fellows of the Swiss Study Foundation. We read R. Dawkin's "God Delusion" and A. McGrath's replica "The Dawkins delusion?".

​

I'm part of an interdisciplinary sequel to the reading group that discussed L. Newbigin's seminal work "Foolishness to the Greeks" and Yuval Noah Harari's "Sapiens". Currently we're reading N.T. Wright's "Simply Christian".
