Isn’t that how it seems, sometimes? Atheists talk of logic just like they are the ones who invented it, or at least discovered it. Sadly, they aren’t as taken with the One who actually did bring the laws of logic into being just as He set into place the laws of how matter / energy behave and interact.
“The great design of this noble science [logic] is to rescue our reasoning powers from their unhappy slavery and darkness; and thus, with all due submission and deference, it offers a humble assistance to divine revelation. Its chief business is to relieve the natural weakness of the mind by some better efforts of nature; it is to diffuse a light over the understanding in our inquiries after truth. And it renders its daily service to wisdom and virtue.”
Isaac Watts

ReplyDeleteSo the laws of logic could have been different if God had wanted to?
Another thing other Christians would disagree with. It is claimed that God can do anything that is logically sound, implying that logic applies to God, not the other way around.
