You didn't answer how you would falsify the law of contradiction. The problem is, you cannot falsify it, because if the law of contradiction is not true, then it is not not true, because to say that it is not true is to invoke the law of contradiction in your refutation of the law of contradiction, which is not a falsification but a reaffirmation of it.
And if we, human beings, define logical truth, then I define p "God exists" as true. A subjectivist definition of logic doesn't account for the non-uniformity of human subjective minds, and cannot. You need to invoke objectivity in contradistinction to popular and subjective opinion for that.
