> No, I do not have faith in my human reason. I trust its validity as a gift from God. You have blind faith in your ability to reason, as simply presupposing it accounts for nothing.

So? You still have to have faith in something, as opposed to being able to use reason all the way. Once you've taken that step, what does it matter which thing you put your faith in?

It's not enough to have a simpler theory if you can't account for anything. Though we shouldn't add entities beyond what's needed, we also should not subtract entities beyond what's needed."

Exactly. So if I want to account for the laws of logic, god is an extra entity that is not needed. You, of course, want him to exist, but that is not sufficient reason to require him in the argument.
