In life, there is a constant battle ensuing over faith and reason. Those two things are constantly feeding off of each other in someone’s mind when making a decision. Over time in which some say is a great conversation about history this battle is changing. The Great Conversation of history spans over many eras where the questions of faith and reason are always things battling for a spot in our minds, but they shouldn’t be in battle because they are very much dependent on the other. Among the time

Faith Tested Daniel 3:16-18 Faith is something that many of us talk about but few of us have much less that we think. Some have more faith in the pews than the Lord. When we entered the church, many of us did not test and see if the pews could withstand our weight. Most of us assumed that the pews were able to support our weight.

Reason and Faith Reason is defined as “a statement offered in explanation or justification with a sufficient ground of explanation or of logical defense,” (Webster). Reason is looking at a situation and determining an outcome based on objective thought. For example, take a look at lightning and thunder.

of religious faith? In his article “The Ethics of Belief (Clifford, 1877) W.K. Clifford sought to argue that “it is wrong always, everywhere, and for anyone, to believe anything upon insufficient evidence” (as cited on p190). The aim of this essay is to establish whether indeed this view offered by Clifford, when considering religious faith, is convincing. In order to do this I will consider the arguments that Clifford put forward, including that which to believe anything based upon insufficient

trustworthiness of pure faith, even without solid evidence. Within both scientific discoveries and religious theories, explanations and proof are vital to convert the skeptical mindset of the nonbelievers. Moreover, this truth is not always discovered and therefore, these concepts are only withheld by belief. While this movie mainly focuses on the battle between science and religion, it continues to further provoke questions of faith.

But if your worldview is based on other people's assumptions and you believe that their assumption is correct then your view of the world would change based on what the others say. Because a person's belief in what others assume their worldview becomes more of a faith view. The example about believing in the presupposition of a religion without questioning

Statistics show that anywhere from 40%-80% of high school Christians abandon their faith within their first year of college. This is a huge problem that needs to be fixed. The youth of today and tomorrow need strong Christian leaders who are able to fortify their faith before moving away into the real world. There are three key factors that lead to this high percentage: Students are unprepared, they are in a more hostile environment, and our natural inclination to sin and fall away from God to pursue
