Has science buried God? - World views in conflict. We often hear that we can no longer believe in God today because science has disproved God. But why then do even Nobel Prize winners believe in God? What can science actually say about God and his existence? And is there scientific evidence that points to the existence of God? These questions will be addressed in the lecture and there will be time for discussion afterwards.
Dr Alexander Fink, Physicist
New University // Grabengasse 3 // 69117 Heidelberg // 7 pm
Where is God when you need him? - The question of suffering in the world. Suffering permeates our lives. It often seems pointless. Why does suffering exist? Does suffering disprove the existence of a good and almighty God? How do different world views interpret suffering in the world? Can suffering make sense? What gives hope in suffering? How can we personally deal with suffering?
Panel discussion with Physicist Dr Alexander Fink & Theologian Gernot Zeilinger
New University // Grabengasse 3 // 69117 Heidelberg // 7 pm
Mohammed, Buddha or Jesus: don't they all say the same thing? - Religions provide orientation in our longing for hope, justice and meaning in life. But how do these religions relate to each other? Are they superficially different, but ultimately the same? Or do they make fundamentally different claims about reality? And is there the ultimate possibility of finding the truth about God, the world and man in religion? To answer these questions, we will address three of the greatest religious representatives - Mohammed, Buddha and Jesus - in a lecture, followed by a discussion.
Gernot Zeilinger, Theologian
New University // Grabengasse 3 // 69117 Heidelberg // 7 pm
Risen from the dead on the third day: Myth or truth? - All people long for hope, for this world not to be meaningless, for love to triumph over hate, for light to triumph over darkness and for life and not death to have the last word. This longing is expressed in the Christian story of Easter, the resurrection of Jesus. But is this just an ancient myth or does it reveal the truth of reality in space and time? These questions will be addressed in the lecture and there will be time for discussion afterwards.
Gernot Zeilinger, Theologian
