A god who can't create paradoxes is too boring to even bother reading about.

RE: Is it logical to use logic in a illogical universe?
The real problem, is that for something to be "not-logical" there has to be logic to define by what logic something is declared "not-logical". Another green emotion sleeps furiously in this thread. While it is grammatically correct to put a "not" in front of the word "logical" to change its meaning; the idea of "not-logical" is gibberish. The reason is, that there would have to be a logical framework within which something would be proclaimed "not-logical" and for that to occur the thing could not exist to be proclaimed as such.

Just for fun here is a link explaining the informal laws of logic: http://atheism.about.com/library/glossar...flogic.htm

Describe how something could violate any of those laws and still be a thing. Ixnay on the uantumquay ysicspha! If someone mentions a superposition in this thread I will punch them! Wink Tongue

I get logic, I'm just asking for a way more interesting thought experiment than the one OP.
For instance, what if he meant logic worked fine because God guaranteed it? And stopped?
Or until the day aliens showed up and told us they could see a flaw in our sums, and it only ever appeared to work?
Or as in the Hook Affair, where logic (or rather geometry here) couldn't be expressed in some region of this or any other universe?
