Is FAITH compatible with REASON?

[zipplewrath]

1. Not really

"Honest" faith, takes over where reason leaves off. The vast majority of people don't have an "honest" faith in that if something they believe is falsified, they will alter their faith accordingly. As you suggest, most people will ignore the information and hold on to their faith. But reason and faith are "compatible" if one is ready to accept that ones understanding can be flawed and therefor needs to be testable.

One cannot "prove" the non-existence of a deity. One can prove the false understanding of SOME deities. (We can clearly see there are no turtles upon which the earth is riding, and they don't go "all the way down".) As such, reason is "compatible" with faith as long as they don't try to cover the same ground.
