Good post. To distill it down: "Why should I trust the evolutionist's mental atoms over my own mental atoms?"

Exactly. And the reason I prefer my model of reason is that theism allows for the existence of some supernatural component of my being that allows me to form thoughts independent of causation. C.S. Lewis treats this argument at length in Miracles.

Like Lewis, I would use supernatural not as synonymous with divine as in common usage, but as something outside and independent of the material world.
