Any discussion about the value of logic presupposes the validity of logic, so we can't escape logic, even if we try.

'False religion' is the ultimate tautology. 'It is just like man's vanity and impertinence to call an animal dumb because it is dumb to his dull perceptions.' Mark Twain 'I care not much for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.'

Of course,but logically valid does not necessarily mean true. In formal logic, the proposition is always deemed true for the sake argument. IE IF A , then------ The inference from an argument may be logically valid but untue. The neo Platonists argued truth may be inferred by reason alone. It became and remains the basis of theist apologetics. I reject that approach ,demanding evidence to support a logical inference. RE: Is it logical to use logic in a illogical universe?
