According
to the textbook, rationalists “maintain that religious beliefs should be
consistent with reason and evidence.” I find this to be interesting because
people normally believe in the religion or they do not. This type of
Rationalism is quite popular within the American population. They believe there
is a correlation between God, the creator, and proof that he exists. Rationalists
rely on evidence to back up a certain belief in the religion. If there is no
proof, they become skeptical of the idea and may reject it entirely. Sometimes the
blame may fall on the failure of science to prove their beliefs, and not
towards their religion. Proof is extremely important to them because it is
answers to their questions. Yet, there are people out there in the world that
try to disprove the rationalism ideas because they believe it is not God that
brought us here, but rather the idea of evolution.
