A.A. Just to recap your position, you think faith is trust, in which case
we need to know what it is you trust. The Bible? Billy Graham? Also, if
faith and reason were compatible until a few hundred years ago (summarizing
your post), what changed since that time that makes them incompatible
today? My guess is they were compatible for as long as next to nothing
scientific was known. America's religious revival (which actually dates
back to the mid 19th century) is pushing evolution out of the classrooms
harder than ever to get faith (a/k/a trust) back in the driver's seat. Can
you elaborate how trust differs from faith, if in fact it does?
