IS FAITH INFERIOR TO REASON?
Atheists assert that faith is inferior to reason. One of the reasons (no pun untended) for this is that they usually have a misconception of what faith actually is, thinking it is blind faith or credulity. True Biblical faith is:
“Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen”—Hebrews 11:1 NASB
“Faith shows the reality of what we hope for, it is the evidence of things we cannot see”—Hebrews 11:1 NLT
“Faith” here is from the Greek word pistis, which refers “to confidence that something is real, with a strong implication that action will ensue from this belief” (NLT Word Study System).
