An example of paradox and side musing.

I have been reading the debates between those who believe in "logic" and those who believe in faith. This is what paradox says. In the bigger picture there is no contradiction.

Notice that we are all "thinkers" whether we profess to be people of the faith or not.

It's just that some are better thinkers than others. Better trained. A side argument is that we are created with a brain with thinking ability and emotions. So unless its a mistake of evolution or creation, there must be a purpose for its existence.

Paradox says that we should use both. Both/And. Paradox says it is better to use your best thinking, the more highly trained the better, and when you reach a point when your best thinking does not give you the answers you need, to then use faith.

It's not either/or. Either thinking (logic) or faith. Its both/and. Man is meant to think and to have faith.

It is interesting to see those that argue for faith using their best thinking to convince you that faith is the way to go and then deny that they have thought through their arguments. Don't you think?
