Or you could just explain what an absolute truth is.
Is it

B) Absolute knowledge about reality
Pick A or B
Equivocation on your part again. You are equivocating between logic existing as something that has been discovered and as something that has been invented.
Logic has been invented. If you don't believe me, then what form of logic do you think was discovered? First order predicate logic? Higher logic? Fuzzy logic?
How can I argue that logic does not exist yet also argue that it was invented? You are making a strawman argument.
I argue that logic has been invented and exists as a concept, much in the same way that languages are created and exist.
Wipe out the human species and language disappears. Same with logic.
A Absolute truth is the truth that cannot change no matter what. Example 1+1=2 =Absolutely True 2+2=5 Absolutely False.
- The Christian worldview states that God is absolute and the standard of truth.
- Therefore, the absolute laws of logic exist because they reflect the nature of an absolute God.
- God did not create the laws of logic. They were not brought into existence since they reflect God's thinking. Since God is eternal, the laws of logic are, too.
- Man, being made in God's image, is capable of discovering these laws of logic. He does not invent them.
- Therefore, the Christian can account for the existence of the laws of logic by acknowledging they originate from God, and that Man is only discovering them.
- Nevertheless, the atheist might say this answer is too simplistic and too convenient. It might be, but at least the Christian worldview can account for the existence of logic itself.
Logic was never invented to say Logic was invented is a joke, Examples of the laws of logic
- Law of Identity: Something is what it is. Something that exists has a specific nature.
- Law of Non-Contradiction: Something cannot be itself and not itself at the same time, in the same way, and in the same sense.
- Law of Excluded Middle: a statement is either true or false. Thus, the statement, "A statement is either true or false," is either true or false.
- If the atheist states that the laws of logic are conventions (mutually agreed upon conclusions), then the laws of logic are not absolute because they are subject to a "vote."
- The laws of logic are not dependent upon different peoples' minds since people are different. Therefore, they cannot be based on human thinking since human thinking is often contradictory.
You thoroughly suck at this.
