Question: can modern man access truth in scripture or in prophecy from reason alone?

From the article: "The issue here is that such truths are not easily accepted by the modern man who is awakened, so they say, to critical consciousness."

The first person who comes to mind is Jordan Peterson. In his interview with Joe Rogan, he refers to scripture as "Roughly speaking ... a bedrock of agreement." He also seems to have adopted critical consciousness as part of his central philosophy. Yet, he is simultaneously pursuing a deep dive into the scriptures in his Genesis and Exodus series. Do you think that someone like him can ever grasp scripture, or the prophesies contained therein, in its fullest sense?
