Reason requires faith

Reason iteslef presupposes faith because a defense of reason by reason is circular and worthless

Our ability to reason can either come from a preexisting intelligence or mindless matter

By faith, Darwinist believes reason come from mindless matter without obversable evidence

Also, reasons require that the universe to be reasonable - assumes order, logic, design and truth

Order, logic, design and truth can only exist from an unchangeable objective source

• In order to know what unreasonable, we must know what is reasonable
• In order to know what is not designed, we must know what is designed
• In order to know what is not true, we must know what is true

This reasoning along with other human traits don't come from chemical reactions but from something with infiniate intelligence:

• Conceptual thoughts
• Freedom to choose
• Ethical responsibility
• Moral Accountability
• Inalienable reights to personhood

Key Phrase: Order, logic, design and truth can only exist from an unchangeable objective source - a Designer
