Faith Vs Logic

Back home for the weekend. I know, I know. It's not exactly the weekend yet. I guess we've got the British to thank for that, for deciding to flee on the very date which happens to fall tomorrow. Anyways. Here I am, This is me. There's no where else on earth I'd rather be(for now at least). Lol. Back to hot water baths and tasty foods, I find my faculties some what over enthu at the very thought of it all. How endearing! Okay. So here goes. It so happened that the other day in my college, we had a debate on "Faith Vs Logic" in the activity hour. There were quite some interesting arguments from either sides. But none very strong. None very impressionable, or so I felt. Can't be blamed for being judgmental. I can't really help if I can deduce and differentiate the cream from the crust. Two very nice questions were posed to either of the parties during the course of the debate. To the Logic group - "what do you think is the logic behind mother's love?" and to the faith group - "What if you found yourself face to face with a tiger, standing next to a tree, would you have faith in God and let fate decide?". Amusing stuff. Personally, I'm all in for the Logic group. I have my reasons. Call me a cynic is you please, but it has been scientifically proven that there is the release of a certain chemical from the mother's body during child birth which causes all of the attachment the mother feels for her child. What else can explain the amount she loves you after all the pain you've caused her? Talking of emotions, now. How many of us are familiar with the existence of chemical substances we call anti-depressants? If a faith theorist were to explain their existence, what would he have in his defense? The very fact that the intake of certain chemicals can alter the way you feel, perceive the world and life in it goes to show that science, the mother of all forms of logic, is behind them all. The very fact that one would undoubtedly run when faced with a tiger, proves one's innately inherent adherence to logical thinking. Faith might tell you to stand there and pray to the lord or goddess of your choice. No offense to the devout lot reading this. Talking of Gods and Goddesses and creations, if you would be so kind as to just observe the patterns laid down for the cycle of birth in the Hindu Dharma, one would understand that the Logic of Karma, or what we call, the Karma theory, is behind it. Bible says too, As you sow, so shall you reap. That is the purest form of the logic of tit for tat. I will go one step further to say, logic is the foundation of faith. Your sense of logic tells you it's safe to have faith in certain such and such events or things or people. Hence you place your faith on them and support them with all the agression and vigour life permits. So you see, Logic beats the pulp out of faith. It beats 'em all. More than anything, it makes sense! ... Say What?
