Thanks for posting. Are laws of logic universal, immaterial and unchanging? So is the God of scripture. Without him they do not exist. W/o the God of the bible how do you account for them???
Laws of logic sharing qualities with your imagined god does not make your god exist. That's like saying "My pet fish has scales and never talks. My imaginary friend has scales and never talks. Therefore my imaginary friend is as real as my fish."
Laws of logic require no god. They are not things. They are human constructs.
Let me ask you this, though- how do you account for the god of the bible?
If they are human constructs than did laws of logic not exist before humans existed?
I should have been clearer. I meant that the meaning we assign them is a human construct. The word "Laws" implies just that- that they are laws created by someone or something with intention or purpose, but in reality, they are just an expression of cause and effect. Logic would work logically with or without us, but you're trying to give them meaning that they don't have.
I do agree with you that logic works with or without us.
You say "Laws of logic have no meaning" Did you use logic to come up with that answer? If logic has no meaning than your response doesn't either. Sounds like a contradictory statement. Wanna try again?
James Holmes acted consistent with what evolution teaches. He evolved from an animal, and when he murdered those people, He acted like one. You can't say he's wrong since evolution made him that way.
