Viscious circle

The arguments between naturalists and theists have not, and will not be solved anytime soon. The main problem is that you can not disprove either theory unless you look at it from the other theories perspective. If you believe in reason, and you don't believe there is a god you can say that there is no proof to show that god exists, and that because there is no physical evidence we should assume he doesn't. If you are a theist you would argue that god does exist and you would cite faith as proof. While naturalists don't believe faith is evidence, theists don't believe that humans can comprehend the works of god so they believe naturalists trying to use science and reason to explain everything is foolish. This viscious circle does not appear to be breakable in the near future.
