The existence of rationality is not evidence of God.

What is rationality in a purely material universe? How do you account for it? If the sentiments expressed in your posts are nothing but the function of your brain, and your brain nothing but the by-product of irrational physical processes what reason do you have for trusting them? In order for you to think you have to claim for your own reasoning a validity that is not credible if there is nothing beyond the chemical reactions in your head.

Cordially,

Rationality is dealing with the metaphysical nature of reality. There is no need for a supernatural supposition.

Still no evidence for God.
