Thanks for the ping...Well, I think you did encapsulate it in a very concise way:

...The Enlightenment’s strict emphasis on Reason as the only way to comprehend the universe..."

"...the only way to comprehend..."

That is the root of what is wrong with everything the Left loves about the Enlightenment.

I get the importance of reason; without it, we’re pitiless fanatics devoid of humanity.

What liberals forget is man cannot thrive without faith in God and understanding life is a mystery.

Humility is hard for human beings to learn - that is why we need faith to temper the arrogance of unbounded reason.
