pps, that is so true.
but look how cleverly that is turned on its head, here:
The mistake of the modern academic approach to the Torah is that it places its belief in human reason (i.e., deductive reasoning) above its belief in the truthfulness of the Torah. This mistake is what turns the Torah into just another field of human study, on par with all other fields of inquiry. The end-result is that mistaken generalities (fostered by an egotistic certainty in one’s logical abilities), which contradict the Torah, come to taint one’s outlook on the Torah and one’s ability to experience it as the source of life: the Tree of Life.

since when does God not call on the new man to use his reason and logic?
there are things we aren't told, or things we may not fully understand...but we are given faith!
and i hardly see how logic contradicts The Holy Writ!
