More of a thinker and not a fan of the idea of a personal God. More of an adept plantinga’s basic belief.

He had a doctorate of philosophy. Also known as a PhD. All scientists are philosophers. Though if we’re talking about philosophy as sitting in a room and thinking without using any evidence or math (which is untrue), then Einstein’s breakthrough that a constant speed of light requires time dilation certainly counts as a philosophical contribution.
