God should be kept out of scientific Questions

Well, I see what you are getting at, I think. Yet I have to wonder if mathematicians and scientists will agree with you that they do not use reason, unless you are proposing a kind of syllogism outside of the scope of science as commonly understood. They might have similar doubts about the overlap of faith and reason, though people of faith reason from their particular premises. It is the diversity in those premisses that would cause such questioning. Given that the laws of Nature operate similarly on everyone despite one’s religion or lack of it, I trust that somehow you can account for those discrepancies?

As for revelation and faith, your circles are not labeled as to which revelation and which faith. Had I landed her from outer space, I could plug any religion in those and be assured that any one of them would have definitive proof in their own context that they are the one and only. And despite claims of history, to someone without a time machine or a particular preference for Christianity, they would be equally valid if not true in their claims. The truth of any one of them would be indeterminate even if the revelation they purported was fact, due to the intermediary necessity of faith. What say you?

One cannot plug ANY religion in the circle. There is one with the fullness of truth that will make everything work. Plugging in others could make it all partially work but will be lacking.

Reasoning comes after observation, so observation informs reason. You are right though, an atheist scientist would not have any use for faith.

One should consider - if Revelation which informs faith confirms secular scientific reasoning then even a doubter has to give it begrudging respect. An atheist scientist would a priori deny the area labeled as IDvolution, which would be irrational.
