If you ask around, I think you'll find that many if not most theists here seem to believe that their god exists outside of reality itself, which is how they get around the conundrum of how a god living in reality might have created that reality, and where was he before reality came into being.
Point being, there's an assumption built into your challenge which isn't shared by many believers.
Additionally, the idea that the "rules of human reason" are "binding" is a misstatement of sorts. They aren't prescriptive, but rather mental tools to assist us in building a closer mental approximation of reality in our heads.
