God created us as intelligent beings.

Teaching faith to think and reason to believe is the task of systematic theology. St. Thomas Aquinas set the pattern for the union of faith and reason in the 13th century (1225-1274 AD).  In his view, a sound philosophy is the handmaid of theology, just as today mathematics is the handmaid of science.  Philosophy is not theology, nor is mathematics physics, but it is impossible to do theology without a philosophy or to do physics without mathematics.  If the philosophical assumptions used in theological reasoning are unsound, the theology will be unsound.
