Agreed. Faith is the equivalent of saying “I have no evidence for my beliefs, but I’m going to believe them anyway”. That’s what makes it so dangerous. It cuts out logic and reason, and creates an insurmountable barrier to communication.

Not necessarily. Faith my not be logic based, but it’s output and interface with the physical world should be.

eg. My faith is arrived at by own choice, while I may st hare my faith I should allow you to make your own choice.

I works both ways, logic and reason don’t over rule faith. Similarly faith shouldn’t over rule logic and reason.

Both have their place.

The existence of God and his action is outside the realm of science. On the threads subject evolution says nothing about God. At the same time, evidence combine with logic and reason arrives at certain conclusion about the earth and life on earth.

It is necessary to be very discriminating in which tool to use, and when.
