I agree; it's contradictory to both trust and doubt a given proposition simultaneously. Situations that require trust cannot be tested by definition. If your workplace has ever done the "trust fall" team-building exercise, your decision to fall back depends on the merit of your coworkers. No test can determine whether or not they will catch you. And any test that could determine that, eliminates the trust factor from the exercise.
If you guys think it is never reasonable to trust that is entirely up to you. As long as it is understood that faith and trust are synonymous. And that faith is for trusting God, not for believing he exists.
