(December 16, 2015 at 7:33 pm)ChadWooters Wrote: That said, if you choose to believe that reality is intelligible and that the intellect is reliable, then it is reasonable to apply the Principle of Sufficient Reason and ask the following questions. Why is reality intelligible and what makes people capable of reason? But of course, these are questions someone ideologically committed to atheism dares not ask.

People are capable of reason because of the evolved trait of abstract thought. Reality becomes intelligible by the application of reason to the information acquired through sense perception.
