And since we're not (I would think!!), absolute, it is I think quite fallacious to think that we could absolutely reason away the absolute. That is contradictory I reckon, unless we ourselves are - at least in our reasoning capabilities - absolute.
Thoughts?

You missed the fact that there are more ways to reason than in absolutes, there could be no agnosticism was that the case. We can rationalize in probability just as well (some of us, of course, others are bound to black and white) as in absolutes. For the serious questions in life we are required to, considering we find ourselves unable to honestly know at present.
