I really don't see why there should be a reason above and beyond the physical realm. All we know is that the (material) universe exists and it can be explained through reason.
Reason is surely inside our heads; we can't be sure it exists outside of them though.
Doesn't that render everything, even science, subjective as mere consensus opinion?
