The nerve to claim one specific religion and one specific God out of hundreds as the real God, and rejecting all others merely because ones parents asserted so, seemed too presumptuous.

Lets apply such thinking to mathematics, hmmm:

The nerve of accepting one value for the sum of 2 and 2 and rejecting all others...

To Geography, hmm:

The nerve of accepting that the world is fairly close to a sphere in shape, and rejecting all the other shapes...hmmm.

To astronomy, hmmm:

The nerve of accepting that we only have one moon, and rejecting all the other possible numbers of moons we might have...

I think that reason is not well served by simply presuming instead that there is actually no sum that 2 plus 2 is equal to, no Earth of any kind of shape, and no such thing as a moon...even if some of the particulars about such things were in doubt.

Of course the sums, the shape of the earth and the number of moons are subject to direct verification.

Prove allah exists.
