The correct answer is option D) "show that reason can be used to understand human experience". Bishop Augustine of Hippo (later known as St. Augustine), in Confessions put the idea that when God created the Heaven and Earth, He also created time. To get to this conclusion, St. Augustine combined the Grecian phylosophy and the concept of God in Christianity. By doing so, he shown that reason can be used to understand human experience by applying to different concepts such as phylosophy and religion.
