SA: Ron, this is why I find the whole debate about
faith and reason absurd. I agree with you, but
wouldn't mind an expansion on these different kinds of
intellectual patterns that each of you are trying to
point out. See my questions below.
Reason and faith are different patterns. Each
quality in their own right. It's the way these
patterns have been asserted, at times, during this
discussion that I find incapable. It's why I find
Steve's point is good where he asserts faith can't be
deciphered by reasoning, the kind of reasoning that
understands experience and evidence and to rely upon
faith to argue with this kind of reasoning will go
nowhere. If it's about which one is more moral than
the other and which one belongs on what level, if
that's the fight, then maybe one could expand more on
faith-based thoughts, if one finds there to be such
kinds of intellectual patterns, and then do the same
for evidenced-based thoughts. Why would meanings need
to be blurred? Distinct meanings doesn't mean these
meanings don't have ways of connecting themselves
somewhere, as you said Ron.
gray clouds thickening,
SA
