Reto 1. Quality Issues / Religion in The XXI Century

The annual World Economic Forum in Davos hosted a panel discussing whether religion is outdated in the 21st century. Lawrence Krauss, an anti-theist physicist, asserted that religion is inherently false and harmful. While other panelists highlighted religion's positive role, Krauss reportedly dominated the discussion by dismissing the distinction between scientific and philosophical/theological questions and regarding religious beliefs as mere fiction. However, the conversation was noted as overlooking the essential philosophical and theological foundations needed to comprehensively understand the world and humanity's place within it.

Reto 1. Quality Issues / Religion in the XXI century
The annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos brought
together global leaders, including faith leaders, to examine the state of the
world and suggest strategies for improvement. One panel, titled "Is Religion
Outdated in the 21st Century?", garnered significant attention, primarily due
to Lawrence Krauss, an anti-theist physicist, who asserted that religion is
inherently false and likened it to a cancer. While other panelists defended
the positive role of religion, Krauss reportedly dominated the discussion.
They emphasized the confusion surrounding sociological, philosophical, and
theological analyses, emphasizing the importance of a broader
understanding that incorporates philosophy and theology alongside the
social sciences. Krauss reportedly dismissed the distinction between "how"
and "why" questions and highlighted the wonders of nature as a source of
awe, while regarding religious beliefs as mere fictions. However, it was noted
that the conversation overlooked the essential philosophical and theological
foundations necessary for a comprehension of the world and our actions
within it.
