Reply #114: How True!

When faith is used to fill in the gaps that science, reason, and common sense cannot adequately explain, it can be a very useful and helpful thing. But when faith becomes a substitute for science, reason or common sense, or more accurately an excuse for laziness to avoid having to think about such things, nothing but ignorance and foolishness will come of it.

I am myself a person of deep faith, but someone shoot me if I ever disengage the mind and rely solely on the heart; the two must work in tandem, not in opposition.
