If faith was reasonable, it wouldn't be faith, pure and simple. Certainty does not require much belief, certainly not faith, if things and phenomenon and mythology that people with faith believed in were reasonable to believe; it quite simply would not be faith, it would be a viable supposition, perhaps even just observations of probable events and characters in history.

Faith is not reasonable, that's why it's called faith. To people of faith, it may seem reasonable from a subjective point of view as one has tailor made a life and philosophy around it and likely incorporated it into most areas of everyday life, but from any objective viewpoint, and certainly scientific or logical viewpoint, it is unreasonable by nature.
