    Rationality is predicated on inputs and outputs. If you’re surrounded by second and third hand accounts of divine mysteries, it isn’t irrational to accept them as true absent some more compelling data. At least, no more irrational than believing in dinosaurs or the Big Bang Theory, without ever actually having seen a fossil or learned about the significance of background radiation.
