In my experience, reasoning isn't the deciding factor in which direction it moves you, but rather pre-existing biases and goals do.  This seems obviously the case with you and your conclusion here.

Jormungandr-

Have you ever read many books or articles written by former "cradle atheists" who were raised in atheist homes? I recently read an online article by Dr. Francis Collins - the head of a big human genome research group in the US. Obviously, the man is no slouch.

The common theme in these accounts is that the atheist went through a slow, sometimes painful, process of discovery guided by reason to overcome the "pre-existing biases and goals" that had undergirded their atheism. The "Paul knocked off his horse on the road to Emmaus" kind of conversion is pretty rare. When men of science apply their skills to an examination of the claims of Christianity and come to the conclusion that it's true, it's worth noting.

That reason sometimes leads to faith is not evidence that reason "usually" leads to faith. Your argument is a red herring and you are guilty of ignoratio elenchi.

Yes I would, we all do. What's your point?
