This was Aquinas's contention in that he reserved faith only for those who could not follow the arguments for God's existence. Such an assumption placed upon human finite logic is fundamentally flawed from two points of view: philosophically, Godel has shown logic to be unworthy of such a quest in that antinomy lurks throughout its foundations; theologically, reason thereby obviates the need for faith which is very problematic biblically since "without faith it is impossible to please God" and "by faith do we understand that God created the world". If your assertion is true, then faith is superfluous.I believe that the logic of the human mind would lead to a unique supreme
being. Witness the attempts of physicists to seek a unifying theory making
all forces manifestations of a unique one. The latter is consistent with the
notion of a unique, supreme being. Note that Moslems and Jews cannot
understand the Trinity we Christian believe for that very same reason.Take care,
Moorad
