There is no animosity twixt Faith and Reason. Orthodox Faith and Right Reason are brothers. When items of orthodoxy conflict with both known things and themselves, reason must give to faith for religion to survive.

They never are in conflict. Orthodox Faith and Right Reason are never in opposition.

It's interesting you say that. It was precisely by signs and miracles that the divinity of Christ was revealed to his disciples. If not for these miraculous healings, calming of storms, driving out of demons, etc., how many more would have walked away from him because of his "hard sayings?"
Do you hold that nothing of the supernatural (meaning outside of natural phenomenon as understood by science and reason) has ever occurred in human history?
