> The validity of the argument is based on the 'reasonableness' of the faith, and not in the faith itself. One can have strong faith in a 2 legged chair made of paper or weak faith in a sturdy 4 legged chair maid of steel to hold one up, yet the weak faith would be more reasonable.

"Reasonableness" does not exist as a logical concept. If you want to make a logical argument, things are either true, false or undecidable. You are of course welcome to claim that your belief is reasonable, but that is not part of any logical argument.

> My faith in an eternal sentient being as the origin of logic, rationality, life, sentience, and morality seem to be far more reasonable than faith in eternal, invariant, abstract laws given what atheistic worldviews say about the 'random,' 'chance,' 'material,' nature of the universe, not to mention that these worldviews still do not account for matter, life sentience, morality etc. etc.

Saying that something happened by chance is "accounting" for it just as much as saying it happened because of a god. You seem to be treating "accounting" as a synonym for "explaining by a theory I approve of".
