The purpose of this blog is to try to solidify my own thoughts in regard to the conflict between faith and reason. I'm hoping to consolidate my arguments for reason over faith that have been developing in my head over the years. Hopefully the reasons why I feel that I need to solidify the arguments in defense of my position will become apparent to readers as I write. Please feel free to throw any challenges, and objections to my arguments at me in the comments section. You'll either help me clarify my argument, help me strengthen an argument, or help me toss out an argument that is flawed. Feedback of an editorial nature is welcome too !
The faith vs reason conflict is broad and cuts across many social spheres from the religious right (faith) vs the 'new' atheists (reason) to homeopathy (faith) vs conventional medicine (reason), to creation (faith) vs evolution (reason). Most of the visible conflict though is in the domain of religion and science rather than politics, mysticism or sociology and so many (quite probably most) of my posts will reflect this.
Please note that as I consolidate my position I'll probably tweak the arguments in the various posts, so they may change a bit with time.
