  abstract  = {In the scientific search for truth, the correspondence theory is predominant to decipher what counts as true. In this approach, scientific knowledge becomes empirically demonstrable and thus enclosed to the sphere of immanence. However, in theology's approach to question the given status of being human and the world's development as creation, theology does not adhere to answers that are contained within the sphere of demonstrable knowledge or mundanity, and thereby theology presents a fundamentally different conception of truth, Jesus Christ the living truth. In opposition to drawing on empirical proof, I want to reread Christian theology in a Socratic manner that employs irony to question overly simple methodologies and seek further insights what it means to be human and be engaged in the scientific search for truth if the authority of knowledge does not lie within humanity's grasp. In doing so, theology's role is an annoying, yet necessary irritation within the field of today's academia.},
