If you are a person of reason, you will challenge your own chosen methodology with the same vigor with which you challenge the chosen methodology of others. If you are an ideologist, you will resist such a process by any means necessary.
If you are a person of reason, it's YOUR job to challenge the qualifications of evidence, reason, logic, critical thinking to create meaningful statements about the fundamental nature of all reality, a realm no one can define in even the most basic manner.
You've already done this with the other fellow's chosen methodology. That's good. Now just do the exact same thing with your own chosen methodology.
Or be a proud ideologist, everyone is entitled to that choice too. If you are an ideologist then you will argue with anything anybody says that doesn't reinforce your own preferred conclusions.
I can show you how it's unlikely that the abilities of a single species on one planet in one of billions of galaxies are adequate to grasp the nature of all reality, but I've already typed that a couple times above and if you wanted to hear it, you could easily figure it out for yourself.
