Quote: C3 we have no way to know if our reasoning leads us to truth in any proposition including the proposition of naturalism itself. any and all propositions based on our cognitive faculties (which are all of them) then are just as likely to be correct as they are to be incorrect- from P2&C2.
Would this mean that my knowledge that if I drop a pen it will fall can be incorrect?

Sniff, sniff... I Smell a rat.... If the logic is not faulty, the premisses are.
And many people have told you that P2 is wrong... maybe they're right...
