IF you were a "bewildered ape"

It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought: 

Ezekiel 38:10

"Reason is itself a matter of faith. 

It is an act of faith to assert that our thoughts have any relation to reality at all.
If you are merely a sceptic, you must sooner or later ask...,

Q: 'Why should anything go right; even observation and deduction? 

Q: Why should not good logic be as misleading as bad logic?

Q: They are both movements in the brain of a bewildered ape?'
The young sceptic says, 'I have a right to think for myself.'
But the older sceptic, the complete sceptic, says, 'I have no right to think for myself; I have no right to think at all."
G. K. Chesterton
