Worldly Systems Will Never Reach the Heights of Heaven, So Why Try To Do The Same In the Name of Jesus?

If the scientist cannot rise above rational probability by any and all means of his empirical investigation, why should the Christian attempt to do more using this same method?
If the philosopher cannot rise above reason and logic itself by any and all methods of his rational inquiry, why should the Christian think he can reach any higher using this same process?
If the moralist cannot rise above the universal ideal of ethical theory that governs society by any and all means of his own system of knowledge, why then, should the Christian try to prove a God that transcends the constraints of the universal box by using this same set of rules?
Why do we try to fly higher than the systems of men in order to reach the heights of heaven when the wisdom of God has been unleashed by the power of the gospel of Christ in simplicity and foolishness at the base of the ground?

We attempt to rise higher than other men, only to find that by rising above we have not risen at all, and have lost all power that is capable of bringing life to the spiritually dead, including ourselves. We may be waging war with more advanced natural weapons, but they are nonetheless, natural weapons and are not spiritually empowered. Natural weapons that, no matter how far advanced, are useless and ineffective in bringing about the salvation of souls. Our attempts are weak, futile, worthless, human, and the only thing that stems from these things is impossibility, especially when it comes to fighting the darkness of the world. The main problem with our attempts is that, no matter how high they may fly, they can never go beyond the heights of what is reasonable or what is probable. The problem with what is reasonable or what is probable is that, no matter how convincing anything may ever be, it always ends with a "probably." Now, a "probably" that results when considering the subject of God's existence or the subject of Christ Himself, means that God or Christ and any of the presumed works that they have done (Either in Creation or Redemption) all hinge on what is “probably” true. This means that, when we fly, we are basing the foundation of our faith, that which we label truth, on what is not explainable by the methods of our attempts and expect it to yield fruitful results, when in fact the opposite is the only reality. A proof can neither prove that something is true, nor can it prove that something is not true, it can only prove that a "probably" is probably true. Truth that is probably true is just as much truth that is probably not true, and therefore, is no standard of measurable truth at all. No, truth that is probably true is indefinitely no truth at all. A truth such as this cannot rest on what is probable. It must be definite. What is definite cannot be proven true by any given "probably."
So, why then do we fly?

We fly because we think that we must. We think that we must because we do not trust. We do not trust because we suffer from lust. It's the same lust that took Eve and ensnared Adam. The same desire that has captivated all of humanity and has manifested itself as a four letter word: P-R-I-D-E and the sinful nature that we all inherit. Our pride causes us to fly. We think that we can do this on our own, and in that we fall and fail at bringing others into the obedience and humble submission of Jesus Christ. We have fallen and continue to fall. We think our power is still found high up in the sky of human discovering and human reasoning and human governing, when in fact it is found at the base, the foundation, the very cornerstone of Christ.

1 Corinthians 3:18 "Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you thinks that he is wise in this age, he must become foolish, so that he may become wise."
