The 'Argument From Reason' is also my favorite argument against God-denial. There are several old posts on this blog explaining how the fact that we can reason shows that atheism is the false view of the nature of reality.
I formulated a 'strong' version of the 'Argument From Reason' -- seemingly on my own -- some years ago. On the conviction that "there is nothing new under the sun", I was certain that I couldn't be the first person in history to realize that the reality of human reason shows atheism/naturalism to be false-to-reality. And, after a bit of investigation, I saw that my thinking had been sub-consciously influenced by years-prior readings of C.S.Lewis and possibly Francis Schaeffer, and more indirectly by encountering "Darwin's Doubt" (which David Wood does discuss in the linked video) many, many years ago. And, I also learned that Arthur Balfour, a one-time Prime Minister of Britain, had written a book back in 1895 in which he argued that naturalism is refuted by the reality of human reason.
