It isn't the existence of whatever it is that gives rise to our sense data which depends on pure reason, just us.

Go on... I think I agree but can you spell it out a little more?

Also, as a side, it is kind of remarkable to read what Kant argues as his conception of God on the basis of pure logic and what modern cosmology has dubbed the Singularity.
