"banal to its own purpose..." (?) Do you even know what banal means? Banal is "lacking originality". What you have said is NOT a dig at science. Science does not strive to be original, it strives to get things as they really are, it strives to make a copy or a model of reality.Saying "give me a reason to believe" in the mouth of a scientist is NOT a request for "reason" (as in logic), but a request for PROOF, as in experiences which can easily be seen.Do you think the world is flat?

It is interesting that believers rally around the idea that reason is weak and yet all of their claims are reason-based.You see, although science is often strongly associated with reasoning, science is about discovery. The world just is the way it is. There is no way to "prove" the existence of anything. The only thing we have is experience. We are made of the same stuff as world (remember, ashes to ashes). Experience in the world precedes reason.

The only time that reasoning is encouraged in the Bible is early in Isaiah "Come let us reason TOGETHER- though your sins be as scarlet..." Other than that it seems that mere human reason doesn't get you anywhere (or leads you astray) without being coupled with the Spirit of truth. You'd have a hard time finding verses about reasoning- most involve Jesus rebuking pharisees and scribes reasoning process.- Peace, I appreciate what you've been writing
