Quote:I am an atheist. As an individual who understands that logic is the absolute foundation and basis of reality
Logic is only a tool,and has little to do with reality. "Logical" is not a synomym for "true". Nor is the Aristotelian logic we use the only form. EG Traditional Chinese logic is based on analogy,not deduction/induction.

Most unlikely but I would be thrilled to see your empirical evidence.
Quote:The basics
The fundamental assumption behind the theory is that propositions are composed of two terms – hence the name "two-term theory" or "term logic" – and that the reasoning process is in turn built from propositions:
The term is a part of speech representing something, but which is not true or false in its own right, such as "man" or "mortal".
The proposition consists of two terms, in which one term (the "predicate") is "affirmed" or "denied" of the other (the "subject"), and which is capable of truth or falsity.
The syllogism is an inference in which one proposition (the "conclusion") follows of necessity from two others (the "premises").
A proposition may be universal or particular, and it may be affirmative or negative. Thus there are just four kinds of propositions:
A-type: Universal and affirmative or ("All men are mortal")
I-type: Particular and affirmative ("Some men are philosophers")
E-type: Universal and negative ("No men are immortal")
O-type: Particular and negative ("Some men are not philosophers").
