I've never quite understood why God would wish us to put aside our God-given intellect in matters of faith. Especially since I've never found it necessary. Rational inquiry doesn't lessen my faith.

Of all God's gifts to us, the ability to reason is one of the greatest. Used properly it has brought immense advances to mankind. Advances that I imagine God had in mind when He gave us our intellect. Why would He wish us to put it aside in matters of faith?
