Can reason and faith co-exist?

Take a look. This pic is probably a fake. Created by someone and placed on the internet to show an "ironic" view of the Church. This is what the world thinks of Christians. Unreasonable. Unintelligent. Blinded. Unwilling to use their minds and view "reality". But is reason truly at odds with faith or can we have a "reasonable" faith? I sometimes wonder how some people like C.S. Lewis and Josh McDowell, both skeptics of Christianity, became Christians unless they were presented with a reasonable argument for Christianity. I believe that I do have a "reasonable" faith. Christianity should be easy to disprove. Prove that Christ didn't fulfill any one of the 333 Messianic prophesies. Prove that he didn't die on the cross. Prove that he didn't rise from the dead. Sounds simple. But in over 2,000 years no one has been able to do so. So how do we change this image of being "unreasonable"? I think it's by showing respect and love, one person at a time.
