Very insightful, hosepipe. Which tells me that one must separate the gold from the dross....
I am convinced that faith and reason are not at all mutually exclusive. How could they be? For God created us in His image, as possessing both reason and free will -- the foundations of faith.
Thanks so much hosepipe for your insightful post/essay!
Exactly... its reasonable to have faith in something.. It takes a bit of faith to believe you will get from point A to point B and back again... Those that say they have no faith are deluded.. Cause they do have some.. Even if that faith is in themselves... or elves or fairys.. or some other primate thats conned them into believing they are "smart"(<<-that other primate)..
