how can you test your cognitive abilities without using your cognitive abilities? you can't. you can't reason without using your reason. if you are unable to reason, then you are unable to determine what is true and what is false. if you're unable to do that, then everything is just as likely to be true as it is to be false and there's no way for us to determine one way or the other because that would require reason.
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them.
