Where is the logic and reason in religion?

Question

What religion says is that our understanding of the sacred truths has been completed.

"Science's permanently revolutionary conviction that the search for truth never ends seems the only approach with sufficent humility to be worth of the universe that it revealed. The methodology of science, with it's error-correcting mechanism for keeping us honest in spite of our chronic tendencies to project, to misunderstand, to deceive ourselves and others, seems to be the height of spiritual discipline."

Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan in his latest book, "The Varieties of Scientific Experience, a person view for the search for God."

I was raised in a Methodist church and even at an early age, I knew the bible was wrong.

Answer 1

Its not the Bibles religion, for indeed our learning process even if we were to live forever would go on to time indefinite.
(Romans 11:33-34) “33 O the depth of God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How unsearchable his judgments [are] and past tracing out his ways [are]! 34 For “who has come to know Jehovah’s mind, or who has become his counselor?””

Even if we were to leave out the Factor of a personal & True God, the universe itself testifies to the epitome of a humongus mind.

The comments by Sagan & Druyan above is good with proven science, not with evolution or astrology, please note the dangers in blind faith in science, as it also applies to blind faith in religion:
*** g74 9/22 p. 18 Do I Have to Believe Evolution? ***
“Theodosius Dobzhansky [an evolutionary scientist] says that much of the work of scientists is beyond the comprehension of average laymen, but that evolution is not. He says it’s a matter of elementary biology. And George Gaylord Simpson [another prominent evolutionist] contents that it’s immoral to have blind faith, whether in a religious doctrine or in a scientific theory. He also says that it’s man’s responsibility to test the findings of specialists and then decide, and that a person doesn’t have to be a research biologist to evaluate the evidence on evolution.”
Note please the definition of Bible faith:
(Hebrews 11:1) “11 Faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld.. . .”

This indeed is the same type of faith that true science is proven by.

Answer 2

Pffft! There is no logic or reason in religion. Religions are morally and intellectually bankrupt institutions without a hint of humility.

I wish that weren't the truth, but history and science indicate otherwise.

Maybe there is a god. But if there is, humanity has a LONG way to go before it can pretend to understand such an entity's nature or wishes.

Answer 3

If you want to understand religion you should study it and try to live it for a while and see if you still believe carl sagan.

I don't know of any religion that claims that all truth has been revealed. Religion generally doesn't go beyond personal behavior.

Answer 4

In today's troubled world I am beginning to have some difficulty finding logic or reason in much of anything humans are doing or saying. The greatest part of it is sophistry.

Answer 5

The logic and reason simply keeps the flock in control, without religion our society would simply become a lawless one, even though the mass knows that it is all a lie.

Answer 6

The reason is to control the mass public; there is no logic in it.
Love is more important. Love is the ultimate power in the universe.

Answer 7

There is no logic and reason in religion. Religion relies on faith, not fact.

Answer 8

Logic & reason & religion do not belong in the same sentence.

Answer 9

How can you have logic and reason based on blind faith it doesn't equate.Science works without superstitious beliefs.
