Reason, by the way, isn't materialism. It's a tool wherein you plug in premises (your assumption that the universe is/ can only be, material, for example), follow some rules (such as non-contradiction), and come up with non-emotional (unless your premise is that emotion makes something logical), objective conclusions.
You're still arguing appeal to ignorance / god of the gaps logical fallacy. But now you seem to be adding the negative proof / burden of proof logical fallacy.
