I'm not in the field, but I understand that one theory of the origin of logic/reasoning is that biological organisms as adaptive systems use Bayesian processes as a consequence of natural selection (i.e. Friston).
I am the author of C. S. Lewis's Dangerous Idea: In Defense of the Argument from Reason, published by Inter-Varsity Press. I received a Ph.D in philosophy from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1989.

To me, that argument reads like saying the existence of hammers proves the existence of God.
