They seem contradictory, but scientists are searching for a way to unify them. Nobody is really saying that relativity is wrong because of quantum mechanics or vice versa.
Maybe we should do the same about faith and reason. What if there is a theory of everything that unifies them and those who fight for one or the other are both wrong? How can we know?
There already is a unifying theory of reason and faith. We evolved the ability to reason and imagine.
Part of that created anthropomorphic assumption as part of the danger reflex, looking for explanations for things we couldn't reason.
That created faith in those explanations and thereby primitive religions.
