That looks like an interesting forum.
On the thread topic, what is the alternative to human reason? IMO religious people are also using human reason, because that's all we can do. The difference is that theists try to stretch human reasoning into realms where it doesn't work in an effort to plug gaps in our knowledge? Theists are probably bothered by these gaps more than atheists? Often science finds real answers to plug these gaps, and theists are forced to revise their beliefs.
