Well exactly because like I said, you can't deconstruct a religious thought process and break it down into logical steps without at some point encountering the concept of Faith... and Faith is by necessity irrational (not even as a slur... just literally "not rational").
Kirk has tried on many occasions to argue for the validity of religion based on there being proof of events described in the Bible. The problem of course being that no one is denying that the Bible contains plenty of accounts of actual historical events. There seems to be an inability to separate the history from the supernatural, is the issue. Evidence of the physical events occurring are in no way proof of any spiritual / otherworldly / mystical / godly involvement.
