Quote:The qualifications are, it works.

EVERY advancement ever made is a result of reason. 

Human lifespan has more than doubled in the last 100 years, airflight, modern medicine, computers, etc, etc, etc... All because of reason.


And as already discussed above, this is not proof that human reason therefore works for EVERYTHING. 

Can we use reason to fall in love, a key aspiration of most humans?   No, we can't.  

I am declining to believe in the infinite power of human reason on faith, just as you reasonably decline to believe in the infinite power of holy books on faith.  I am the real atheist here.
