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?
