Faith and Reason: They Don’t Need to Conflict
As someone who conducts research and clinical work focusing on the interface between psychological science and religious/spiritual engagement, I’m often frustrated and saddened by the faith and reason debates and conflicts. In my view, they often miss the point.
Usually the argument goes something like how can anyone that respects science believe so many of the supernatural statements in the Bible including a virgin birth, Jesus and others being raised from the dead, the parting of the Red Sea, Moses getting the 10 commandment tablets from G-d, the earth being created in 7 days, miraculous healings, and so forth.
