If I'm understanding right (always a big "if") something can be logically possible and still not at all something we ought to believe in.
Like, there's no LOGICAL contradiction in the idea of a one-horned horse-like creature whose anal glands spray a mist which, in the proper light, make rainbows.
So that's logically possible, but no sane person expects to get one for Christmas.
Something that's logically impossible is like a square triangle, or a married bachelor, or a thing that exists and doesn't exist simultaneously. Self-contradictory.
