I read so many answers that said "I'm a logical person, therefore I cannot believe that God exists because we can't see God. So, God isn't not logical at all." and such. I just wondering, is logic really doesn't get along very well with faith, or in contrary, logic is supporting faith as well? What do you think?

Most people don't understand logic. Logic in no way means you must be agnostic. True logic says logic without emotion is illogical, we have emotion. It is a very good guide and indicator as long as we don't let it rule us. It is illogical not to let emotion, under control, be our compass. Our hearts can tell us things our minds can not. It is through our hearts that we are touched by the Holy spirit and anyone who won't allow their heart to feel what God would have us feel is in big trouble. and yet too many people have taken a page from the book of Spock. They think logic only includes what can be proved to the mind. They think it makes them more intelligent, more logical to ignore the obvious in the name of logical intellect. There is nothing on earth, nor earth herself, that is so simplistic as just have happened. It screams out against all probability. It is totally illogical. It is impossible to use logic as an excuse for a closed mind.

Belief, or logic, is thinking something is so because you've seen evidence to convince you its true. Faith is thinking something so despite evidence to the contrary. In that sense theyre pretty different.
But plenty of people say science is also based on faith. Scientists have faith in the scientific method, and in the theories that they believe explain the world. I'm agnostic myself... I'm still not sure about this argument. But people of faith and people of belief are all people... at some point there must be a similarity.

I say one can have both. I believe in God and the logics of the word of God.
Im also a logical person in the sence that its logic that what goes up must come down.
That supports the Belief in GOD too. He created all

Logic supports faith. They are not separate except in the mind of some.

Is it logical to say that the earth and humans came into existence by chance? They seem to well made to me.

If you can't see it, that does not mean that it can't exist.
There are a lot of things that do exist but you can't see them or can you?
How about trying to reach God, perhaps she answers you?
