Is Christianity Illogical?

Glad you got a kick out of the user name.



Regarding scientific evidence, are there not things we know are true despite any science to prove them? For example, we know that the word love is spelled love for non-scientific reasons. English is a language, not a science. We know 1 + 1 = 2, because mathematics (not science) tells us so. We know Plato was a student of Socrates, and Aristotle was a student of Plato, and Alexander the Great was a student of Aristotle. Yet it is historical evidence, rather than scientific evidence that causes us to elieve. Not all truth is proven true by science; don't you agree?

Actually, the study of history is a science. How do you think we know what we know? Archaeology, linguistics, philology, etc. are all sciences.

As for your assertion about language, I happen to be a linguist, and I'm going to have to disagree with you. We know the word 'love' is spelled 'love' because we have science that tells us the evolution of the word. English may not be a science, but then again neither are atoms. The study thereof is where science comes into play.

Pardon my lack of scientific knowledge about science! It sounds as though you are saying all knowledge is science. Am I misunderstanding you?

The original poster seems to like moving the goal post. WTTW: 1+1=2 due to a strict framework of reason and logic called mathematics, don't try to make it less that its greatness. Keep on the subject, explain why there is a logical necessity for your vaunted god beside your pride and willingness to deceive us into believing something you yourself have trouble believing.

Thanks for the advice. Where should the goal posts be?
