I have been reading articles on a number of web sites on the topic of the relation between faith and reason. There were many assertions along the lines of the two being opposite and incompatible. There were statements that faith hinders the search for truth, being contrary to scientific inquiry and that one can maintain faith only by abandoning reason etc. Really?
Proponents of these views must scratch their heads a bit regarding Sir Isaac Newton, commonly referred to as “the father of modern science.” Sir Newton was a “man of faith,” a dedicated believer. He once attributed all of his scientific discovery to “the working of the holy spirit.” He wrote a complete chronology of the Old Testament. (That takes some serious dedication.) He revised it 17 times. He very closely compared church doctrines of his day with the written Word of God, accepting most doctrines but rejecting those that he considered to be, in his words, “repugnant to reason.” Obviously, Sir Newton had no problem embracing both faith and reason.

…I’ll bet there are other lines you have heard incorrectly attributed to the Bible. I’d love to hear your stories. Your comments on this will be interesting and informative. Or maybe you have questions. Does such and such come from the Bible? We would love to hear from you too.
