The Conception of God as seen from research on the foundation of quantum theory

Abstract

On several levels there is now a debate whether or not the concept of God can be made compatible with modern science. In an attempt to elucidate this debate, I give an account of my own experiences from writing a book on the foundation of quantum mechanics. It turns out that one can give two independent arguments for the existence of God by taking as departure an epistemic interpretation of quantum theory. Nevertheless I argue that any religious belief should be the result of an existential choice governed by each individual’s own context. My own faith is that God is greater than Christianity, and that Christianity is greater than the dogmas claimed by the Church.
