>>Therefore we must often turn to human experience and reason in matters of faith.<<

Not for Bible believing Christians.

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. Make up your own beliefs if you wish but scripture is still God's word and He promised the Holy Spirit to individual believers in order to understand.

1 John 2:27 As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him.

And so it happens that there are Christians who expand the authority of Scripture beyond its proper scope and who then end up endorsing slavery and denying evolution. As it happens, in addition to Scripture, God also provides us with reason and the capacity to learn from experience. Why should these be denied any role in matters of faith and moral reasoning?
