@ Don't we know from science that matter is irrational. That means
that it does not possess rationality and cannot think and reason. Now
when we look at the world around us, it seems that so many species
like humans can think and reason and possess rationality. Now if Hume
is right and water doesn't rise higher than its source and an effect
can't be greater than its cause, how do you get rationality from
irrationality?"
