Summary:This essay explores the complexity of faith in our time. The continued belief in religion indicates, at least to some extent, the failure of science to fully demonstrate its absoluteness to a convincing degree for many believers. And, in Kantian terms, the reason for that is because it cannot. This essay will focus on the point at which faith and reason intersect and become neither each other nor themselves but share in an unspoken and unintended complicity of belief in order to negotiate the impossible truth of the matter, which is just that—the true is the impossible.
