...try to imagine how you would understand this world you know nothing
about. First, you would probably attempt to find some order in what
you see. You would distinguish between the things around you that move
(animals, birds) and those that stay put (plants, rocks). You would
distinguish patterns-light (day) followed by dark (night). You would
also see that much about what happens is unpredictable-the weather,
for instance. Eventually you would develop some sense of what your
world consists of.
But describing things would not be enough for you. You would want to
understand what goes on, and why. How would you do that? How would you
explain, for example, the fruit on the trees, the passing storms in
the sky, and the coming and going of the bright disk? Think about that
for a minute.

"Reason lies"??? If reason lies, then it's not reason. It's unreason.
