First extract of Richard Dawkins new book.

[Violet]

You're a dinosaur? O.o I have already told you: philosophy has proven WHY one MUST be equal to itself. Philosophy has proven WHY some forms of the concept of 'gods' simply cannot be true. Philosophy and other sciences are not working apart... but rather: they must be joined together.

And I repeat Saer ... show me one thing that is pretty much universally accepted based on pure logic. 1 equals 1 is an assumption that is borne out by the fact that other stuff based on it works, much like the assumption that the universe is real.

Kyu

If one did not equal one, then the universe would rapidly become nothingness, or oneness. Shown here: 1=2, everything continuously multiplies until everything becomes a single mass. Shown here: 1=.5, everything divides into halves until it reaches the fundamental particles of the universe and disintegrates entirely. Therefore 1 must = 1. This proves why it is true in our universe. Beyond this... this proves why it is true in every universe preceding ours (i.e. Even if someone is playing us as a video game: they too fall under this rule.)

Logic only exists where this rule is true. That is why philosophy is too a science. Metaphysics go beyond logic... they are not compatible... because metaphysics must take place outside of logic. They are therefore pointless to discuss, as they have absolutely no application for us, and probably don't exist in the first place. If it will matter to us... it will be based on logic.
