faith and reason
"One CANNOT have faith and reason at the same time. Sorry."
Why do you beleive the two mutually exclusive? I suppose it's a matter of how you define "faith," eh?
For example, what if my faith was that beyond the singularity from which the universe sprang there was a creator? Is that faith incompatible with reason? We don't know how something came from nothing. Is my reason savaged and destroyed if I choose to answer this potentially unanswerable question with faith? In all other things I may concede to reason and science. Would this faith be incompatible with reason then?
