Epistemology without God

Rationality
When it comes to attaining knowledge without God the process reveals that all methods turn out to be subjectivism.
Rationality basically comes down to reasoning upon ones reasons. This is done by using the laws of logic, abstract ideas and premises. When the rationalist looks out into the world to find facts he labels matter (objects) with descriptions and conclusions he has found by his reasoning on his premises. The facts are basically whatever logic says they are. The problem with this is that they have not obtained any new knowledge other than their own subjective claims. The rationalist imposes abstract logical conclusion on non-rational matter. If this is the process of gaining knowledge, then we must have unlimited knowledge because there is know other way of gaining knowledge but through our reasoning. We must know all reality exhaustively or know nothing at all.
If we live in a chance universe what can logic tell us about it? If a fact could be found it would have no rational relationship to any other fact as a fact can only be a fact when it fits with all the facts as a complete unit of truth.

The Empiricist
The empiricist trying to keep the facts from being swallowed up by logic came up with the method that the mind just receives the facts through the experiences of the five senses. The mind receives the facts just as they are without imposing logical formulas on things. The problem with this view is that non-rational matter with know interpretation behind it, like the rationalist has no facts to give. Facts just don’t come flying in to our minds. Even if there were chance facts floating around disconnected to any unit of truth mans mind would have to bring these facts together in some order and then relate them together. This would by default distort the facts. Our experiences of things are only experiences of our own senses and mental images. This still only leaves us with subjective claims.
For whatever experiences with have to understand it, it must go through categories of the mind. It is again our imposed categories of unity, causality, certainty, order, logic, abstract concepts and judgements shape the impression we sense. This still gives us the problem of getting to true facts in an impersonal universe without forcing our experiences of the things through the categories of our minds. What ever we observe we interpret subjectively.

Without God knowledge of reality is impossible…
