Among other things, epistemology addresses the extent to which we should, or shouldn’t, trust our senses. Descartes, the father of modern philosophy, was disinclined to trust the evidence of his senses unless that evidence could be shown to be trustworthy through other, non-sensory sources, like reason. Other philosophers, like Locke, took sensory evidence to be sufficiently trustworthy to not require external support. Can we be confident that our sensory organs are reliable? Well, the theory of evolution has been proven beyond any reasonable doubt, so our sensory organs are the product of evolution. Evolution would produce reliable sensory organs because evolution favors traits that encourage reproduction and animals with reliable sensory organs will have offspring.  After all, if an animal lacks reliable sensory organs then it’s apt to be eaten by undetected predators before it can reproduce. Consequently, we can be reasonably confident that our sensory organs are reliable.”
