Reppert says, "Arguments from reason are good arguments in the sense that they provide substantial grounds for rejecting naturalism about the universe and materialism about the mind, and hence a reason for preferring theism about the universe and dualism or some other nonmaterialist view about the mind. " He provides six arguments in support of this thesis.
Richard Carrier, author of and Goodness without God: A Defense of Metaphysical Naturalism, provides a very detailed criticism (see Related Link) and says that naturalism more easily explains the facts discussed by Reppert in C.S. Lewis's Dangerous Idea: In Defense of the Argument from Reason, meaning it is a "better explanation" than theism.
Carrier identifies three underlying problems with Reppert's six arguments, which he calls the Possibility Fallacy, the Causation Fallacy and 'Armchair Science'. His refutation of the six arguments is devastating.
