"So your point is that we can't be rational unless we assume, without evidence, that there is a source of rationality in the universe. I don't quite see the logic that goes behind it. Maybe if you supported your claim with evidence rather than just asserted it you might make more sense."

I think he might be saying that causality must have a beginning. It couldn’t have started in man because man is finite, or because man did not come before all else.
