To those who say we should only use reason and never faith, I ask "Do you have faith in reason?"
12/28/10: Faith without reason is foolish "Reason without faith" is self-deception.
12/28/10:
You can not have reason without faith because reason is based on faith. Reason is based on certain assumptions that can not be proven and therefor must be accepted on faith. For example, reason is based on the assumption that reality follows the rules of logic. This assumption can not be proven because to prove it requires logic, but to use logic to prove it amuses that reality obeys the laws of logic and is therefor circular reasoning. Therefor we must accept this assumption on faith to accept the conclusions of reason. In other words you must have faith that reality is logical before you us use logic. You must have faith in reason before you can accept the conclusions of reason.. |
