Reason and Reality lead us to God

We find truth in Faith but we also find a reflection of truth in the thinking mind’s reasoning process. The thinking mind is a logical mind. The thinking mind can process data into meaning that describes reality. It can order data into logical conclusions that are constructs of reality. These constructs of reality we call science. The thinking mind can know what reality really is like. It can know what is; ought to be follows what is. Animals do not possess a thinking mind. The universe does not posses a thinking mind. Only man possesses the thinking mind.  Only man can know the true nature of reality and his existence in that reality. It can analyse, deduce and form patterns that mean something. We call this process reasoning. The thinking mind is a meaning creating mind. It transforms data into explanations and reasons. Explanations and understanding lead to reasons as to what man should be. Faith leads ultimately to God, for faith reflects God. The thinking mind also leads man to God, for reason that reflects reality will always lead to God. God created Faith. He also created reason. Reason when properly used will always find truth. Faith is truth therefore reason and faith can never contradict. Where Faith and Reason seem to contradict is because man has failed. He has failed either to understand or know his Faith or failed to understand and know his Reason.  A true understanding of Faith can never contradict a true understanding of science. A truth in Faith never contradicts a fact in science. Faith is greater than science because Faith can take us to a place where science can never take us. Science can describe visible reality but Faith can describe both visible and invisible reality. Science is natural. Faith is both natural and supernatural. Reality is both natural and visible but also supernatural and invisible. Reality reflects it’s creator; God. God is visible and invisible, natural and supernatural. He is visible in the person of Jesus Christ and invisible in being the Father the Creator who stands aside from creation. He is natural in that He took on the nature of man, became a creature and supernatural because He is the Holy Spirit. Man is also a reflection of God and reality; man is natural in body and supernatural in soul and spirit.
