Do we expect too much from human reason?

[Mudhammam]

This is a common and understandable complaint. If you will read again,
you will see I am not challenging reason globally, only in regards to those tasks where it's relevance and qualifications have not been demonstrated.

Is reason a great tool for building bridges? Yes, we have thousands of standing bridges as proof.

Are the rule of human reason binding on all reality? Nobody knows. We don't even know what "all of reality" refers to.

Saying "I don't know" is not a bridge to declaring "Maybe yellow spiders in the Andromeda Galaxy spun mankind from their bellies" and then equating doubts about such hollow assertions with the credulous faith of those who are utterly convinced in the absence of any justification whatsoever.

If you want to call trust in evidence and reason "faith," you should invent a different term for trust in gut feeling and tradition, and then explain to us how it is you reasoned your way to the position you hold while asserting the spurious nature of that reasoning process.
