This is precisely my point. You attribute the capacity to reason to chemical molecules because their behavior seems purposeful. It does not occur to you that living entities may have goals and achieve those goals by using information processing means other than Reason(TM). By the same logic, you could argue that tables are indeed rational to fall down, because otherwise they would fly into the sky.
