Because a purely rational proof will at best lead to a logical tautology that has no relationship to ACTUAL existence outside the proof itself. Though realistically I'd bet that most such proofs will inevitably have circularity and assumptions just below the surface as well. |
You are assuming logic and reason can comprehend EVERYTHING when somthing is shown that can't be the proofs would look outside the proof for the answer.
