I asked you how god came to be limited by the rules it created. By the rules of a universe it was responsible for. I suggested that the creator of some ruleset is not necessarily bound to that ruleset, a point which -you- yourself have echoed- which is fairly well demonstrated. -I- am not bound by any rules I create for the construction of my fields. They have to be long rectangles...I don't.
Quote: If God were not bound by logic he would be able to illogical things like pick up the rock and count to infinity...twice.If god were not bound by logical imposition, it could do impossible things..this is a tautology. What's the problem?
Quote:Since, as I said before, illogical statements like married bachelor and round square aren't really "things" but are sets of contradictory terms, I don't think that logic was created. The more plausible foundation for logic is a reflection of the mind of God.You haven't exactly shown an aversion for contradiction in your posts.....and it's not as if it means anything with regards to the proposition at hand. If god can do impossible things, if god, like so many others..is not limited by the ruleset it created, then those things being contradictory isn't a problem.......... You believe that god can only do possible things. Why, why must god be a rectangle, just because he's arranged his fields as such?
You are referring to the rules of this universe and what lay within it while simultaneously proposing that god is not subject to the rules of this universe or what lay within it. Explicitly, that god is apart from this universe. That what is true of things in this universe or this universe is not necessarily true of god. That god is a special case. Well, okay...I don't believe you, but why not let god be the special case you're arguing for? What makes " a reflection of the mind of god" a plausible foundation for logic when the subject itself remains un-demonstrated and...as you describe it..logically incoherent? Flesh that out for me...or is it just another line you've picked up..like the KCA?
