Yes I understand. Believing in story retold to you substitutes for self knowledge. It does defy logic I totally agree. But this is not about logic.

This is about something not based on a story.

No, you don't understand

A very interesting side-bar debate you guys having going on ... I tend to agree with the below school of thought:



How do we reconcile faith and logic?


It gets hairy.
I can have faith that a chair will hold me up..but until I sit in it..my faith means nothing. I believe that is at the core of what James was saying when he wrote, “faith without action is dead” (James 2:17).
By using logic one can determine that a four-legged structure with a flat surface made of a strong material such as wood or metal SHOULD hold my body weight if I sit on it.
Both faith and logic are needed.
But there are times when faith trumps logic.
These instances are what bog me down.
My faith does not weaken..because I do truly believe that “with God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26).
