Answer to Question 1

It is not an object of reason.

Answer to Question 2

The advantage of using naturalistic explanations is that it is insightful, and leads us to understand the basic functions of our species. The disadvantage is that they can easily commit the naturalistic fallacy. The naturalistic fallacy is that that the way in which we behave cannot tell us how we ought to behave. The fact that we desire something does not tell us that the desire is good. Therefore, the use of naturalistic explanations can lead to unethical behavior.

This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
