The article presents selected models of faith rationality: classical, probabilistic and critical. Rationality refers primarily to a person who reasonably maintains his beliefs (related to faith), and it is not a characteristic that determines the content of the beliefs themselves. The classical model of rationality says that only those beliefs – whose truth has been indisputably proven – can be considered rationally. This means that the existence of God must be evidentially proved. Fundamental theology, based on this model, is concerned with developing such proofs. The probabilistic model of rationality indicates that the unquestionable attainment of absolute truth (on matters of God's existence) is unfeasible for human reason. This can only demonstrate that the beliefs are highly probable. In this model, fundamental theology seeks to demonstrate that the existence of God is highly probable. A significant limitation of this model is inductive reasoning. The critical rationality model is therefore based on falsification, the basis of which is deductive reasoning. Views, if they are coherent, can be held for as long as they are not proven false. Fundamental theology should therefore be concerned with an apologetic response to arguments that criticize the faith.
