If you define "rationalist" in the more esoteric sense of the idea that reason is the source of truth, then I do not believe the Holy Spirit is a rationalist. By this definition, I am not a rationalist either. However, I do believe that the Holy Spirit is rational. He also does not lie or employ deception to mislead others. The Holy Spirit uses rational thought to speak to us, and he expects us to include rationality as a basis of belief and action.
The position that Genesis 1 is the Holy Spirit not being rational is just a cop out, in my opinion. It is just as bad as the Creationist who uses the cop out explanation for an observation, "God did it" to stop further research and investigation. The truth is not afraid of logical thinking, nor does it contradict logic at any time.
