Chronicles of Narnia:  The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

[Lucy had just disturbed the peace in the house at night.  And now Peter and Susan her older brother and sister are having a conversation with the Professor, the owner of the house and their uncle.]

"Hence the weeping."  He begins using his powers of deduction strait away.  He from this point of the clip stands to be the voice of reason.  Then Peter and Susan share about the magical land that Lucy believes she has found in the upstairs wardrobe.  And he then he starts believing this story.  Why is a deeper story...but safe to say he is willing to go along with it.  He stats "what do they teach in schools these days?"  Then they bring up the idea that Edmund said they were only pretending.  He states if she is not mad, and not lying, she must be telling the truth.

This is the point of the clip, how often do we assume that we know the logic of how the world works and if you do something that is outside our imagination of what could happen than I label you a lunatic.  Granted it does seem highly unlikely that Lucy has found a magical land, but as he says logically it makes sense that she has.  How often in our world do we dismiss something that somebody says because it doesn't make sense in our head?  We are slowly, but surely moving to a society that looks at somebody who does not think like us and we think him mad.  But the question is have we thought about things logically?  People often think that Faith and Reason are opposed to each other, they are not.  It is terrible that the majority of people believe that the word faith means that you take something on no evidence.  That would be lunacy.  To believe I am a poached egg makes no sense, and there is no evidence to suggest I am one.  However to believe that I am a Christian, that Christ was real, and died on the cross and was God, are not without evidences.  

Faith is not opposed to reason, it begins on the point of this clip which is trust, and then logic.  Do you usually trust Edmund or Lucy?  Even if what Lucy is saying is fanciful, and sounds impossible you trust her.  Do you have any reason to not believe her?  Does she still have her wits about her?  It is one thing if we know that the person is "off their rocker," but if they are collected in their thoughts, then why should we disbelief their experience.
