I disagree. They aren't tools we have created. They are tools we have evolved to use because they are an effective and economical way of investigating reality. A chimp that selects a certain twig as better than another to extract termites from a nest by trying and seeing is being a scientist. Reason and science work because of the way the universe works. To talk of other ways of knowing the truth about reality is just making things up, literally.
