You need to either provide a workable definition of logic that takes us in a different direction or else concede you're wrong.
I've seen many Christians tell me that I'm just a contrarian and I'll argue no matter what. But in reality it's the Christians that argue no matter what. I'm not even trying to prove anything negative about God here. Matt Slick's theology is contradicted by my conclusion, but, as far as I can tell, yours isn't. Your only reason for rejecting my argument is your pathological contrarianism, your belief that atheists are wrong no matter what. I think it's quite clear that God has no reason to invoke logic, as I've been claiming all along, and your best move is to tip over your king to at least salvage some respect from those of us who are still watching this conversation.

[1] I agree with the above statement. God does not "invoke logic" defined as an analytical process ( I have said the exact same thing a dozen time). As you pointed out his omniscience allows him to skip this step. However that in no way means that all conclusions God has are not logical (of or pertaining to logic). Your leap to God has no need of logic is unfounded.
1. Logical conclusions are derived from either a) the process of logically analyzing assumptions or b) having omniscience.
2. God has omniscience
3. God's conclusions are logical
[2] I was going to say something, but nevermind, it wont matter.
