said that St. Augustine apparently saw no conflict between faith and reason
because he saw, both, faith and reason as ways (not mutually exclusive) at
arriving at what can be considered as truth.
And, because nothing can be considered true and false at the same time,
faith and reason will always exist in accordance with each other, and because of that,
there can be no conflict.</span>
