Can you prove that logic is the appropriate standard for evaluating things?
Interesting - so you want me to use the framework of logic, that which is developed to differentiate between patterns of thoughts and ideas to connote the correctness of a statement within context to prove if said framework is appropriate for evaluating things?
Ok, first off, you are getting negative repped for that jack-off of a statement. I thought there was a misunderstanding, but now I can see that you are merely wasting my time by pulling every trick you can think of. I am now expecting you to ask if we can prove reality is reality in some useless post-modernist masturbatory blatherfest because you cannot seem to accept that faith in a deity is baseless despite all definitions and examinations of it using critical thought.
Second, I am not going to waste my time proving logic is logical for evaluating what it was designed for. It is blatantly moronic, like asking if a generic hammer is good for the act of hammering a generic nail through a generic board of wood. A rigorous philosophy of science course at a reputable research university is suited for your questions upon the nature of logic - seriously, go ask these questions to someone who devotes their profession to answering these types of questions.
