re: #44 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

Problem there is that you have to reject not only science and history, but also logic, as the Bible contradicts itself in several places. There is no arguing with such people, one can only hope to limit the amount of damage they can cause.

Pope John Paul II noted in an encyclical that faith does not contradict correct reason (presumably reason which doesn’t contradict Catholic theology).

Martin Luther on the other hand argued faith is antithetical to reason. That comports to many verses in both the Old and New Testaments, aside from 1 Peter 3:15 (The Great Commission, you should be able to give reasons for your faith).
