God and Reasoning

 

 

 

God and Reasoning

 

Do these two go together?

Do they oppose?

Are they interdependent?

Are they foes?

 

Two camps exist:

Here is what one chose;

God and reasoning, they say,

Are diametrically opposed.

 

The other disagree

And to this end they proffer:

God is the reason we can reason

And here is His offer…

 

“Come let us reason”

His invitation to both sides

And hopefully within reason

They can decide.

 

God is the reason

Scientists can do science,

He is the only wise God

And self-existent.

 

He is the only cause

Without a first cause

And for everything that exists

He is the first cause.

 

He is the only being

That did not come to be

Thus, the question who made God

Is not thinking sensibly.

 

Trust God

And use your reasoning,

Not the other way around,

For…

Trusting your reasoning

And using God

Is not profound.
