Why 'Rational faith' Is An Oxymoron
#37
RE: Why 'Rational faith' Is An Oxymoron
Again, I understand and agree with you to some extent. However, logical thinking would have to play some type of part in certain examples of "Faith", and I personally do not think that when any type true logic is involved that it is 100% irrational.

Keep in mind, I stated "Certain Examples".....

Would Abiogenesis (Origins of Life) be considered "irrational" to you? From the Evidence we have today, and what we already know to be true, this at least shows it to be a good model for more discoveries, but we still do not know it to be 100% true. However, because of logic and the pieces of evidence combined, I put my faith in it. I do not see that being "Irrational" ..... I guess you could say because of logic and evidence combined it would only be "half-irrational"....lolol

I believe the Big Bang to be true because of logic and Evidence combined, but again, the Origins for the scales we have put in place are not 100%, but I put my Faith in that they are because of "Logical Thinking"..... I do not see how that is completely irrational.
Intelligence is the only true moral guide...
