Why Trust a Monkey Mind?

I didn't ask that question.

Charles Darwin did.

With me the horrid doubt always arises whether the convictions of man’s mind, which has always been developed from the mind of lower animals, are of any value or at all trustworthy. Would any one trust in the convictions of a monkey’s mind, if there are any convictions in such a mind?
Joe Carter passes along this revealing remark, as well as others by leading Darwinists like Richard Dawkins (it appears almost as if "the human brain is specifically designed to misunderstand Darwinism").

Then Carter patiently examines the illogic inherent in believing both in common descent by blind evolution and in our ability to discern truth.

Will the hard evidence of this fundamental contradiction change any minds? Carter concludes:

Our beliefs are not formed by reason alone and so are rarely changed solely by appeals to rationality. An obdurate will, rather than soft-headedness, is the primary reason why naturalists cling to such self-refuting concepts even when they are clearly absurd.
