Scherer is not a prominent Creationist as often purported. He believes that religion and science are two different ways of approaching reality. He is married to anthropologist Sigrid Hartwig-Scherer.
Scherer studied biology, chemistry and physics at the University of Konstanz. In 1977 he passed the state examination in chemistry and physics, and in 1980 the diploma and state examination in biology. In 1983 he earned his PhD in plant physiology. From 1983 to 1988, he researched plant physiology and biochemistry at the University of Konstanz. In 1984, he received the Byk company’s research award, and in 1986, research position for field studies at China and Mongolia with the Chinese Academy of Science. From 1988 to 1989, he was on a research scholarship from German Academic Exchange Service at the Virginia Tech Department of Biochemistry.
After this, Scherer had a post-doctoral position at the University of Konstanz from 1989 to 1991.
