Yes, but what is faith other then convincing oneself about something that does not accord with the empirical rules of the world or things that are uncertain per se. If faith does not accord with reason or is not applied by it then of what practical use is faith to an individual seeking connection with an abstract and divine being.
I think its all too confusing and imaginary in large part to understand, and its best to be content with what we can know in the empirical world. All the knowledge beyond this world is nothing more than a vagary, and is probably best not being rationalized about. I do know that people tend to anthropologize that which does exist beyond, so this does show that humans subconsciously are programmed to rationalize that which is beyond our reason.
We can not go without rationalizing the concept of God, because it would be like trying to think we can walk or move on water or into empty space. Its not viable or possible, and its not worth our time to dare to enter such a vague and obscure proposition. Its best to improve our own human conditions on the basis of reason, and to use rational and logical propositions and models as grounds to elevating the imagination and brain to something more abstract and divine.
