Scientific method proves order cannot exist w/o intelligence
RE: Scientific method proves order cannot exist w/o intelligence
Side note:
The law of the excluded middle is dropped in some versions of quantum logic leading to multiple valued logic. Since quantum mechanics is closely tied to the fundamental nature of reality, it might be that the law of the excluded middle is not essential in our reality. So your statement that "there is not a single instance of any imaginable reality anywhere, natural or supernatural, in which these laws will not be true." is too strong. It is clear however that one cannot change the choice of a specific logic under the reasoning. If your opponent chooses multiple valued logic as a basis he has to build alll arguments from it. In informal logic common in debate the three rules are generally taken for granted. The only reason to change the logic in scientific endeavour would be that the results in terms of predictiveness are better.
