Faith & Reason

Each individual has their own beliefs (or "disbelief" in the case of atheists, lol), and here I am no different from any other.
I'm not a fan of a belief in supernatural phenomena based solely on personal and 
individual experience , by contrast, I believe in something tangible that's recorded since the early days in the Holy Scriptures. 

Contrary to what many think, the faith is not merely mystical, but it goes hand in hand with reason. Faith by definition is the belief that something is not seen, but expected, and it seems that faith is totally in contrast to the reason, but it may be noted that the reason is the "root of faith." Because if someone does not understand something then you can not believe in that something.

I understand that faith has a spiritual origin, but in relation to human behavior, it acts making we face what we expect as a living reality and immutable. For this, we start from the principle that complete faith in the gaps that the reason still does not answer why.

That is, religious belief shows a beginning, middle and end, so rational, and faith works by transforming theories into facts to those who believe.

Therefore, faith and reason should rather be allies in the understanding of life, helping them to each other.
