[b][u]Discussion 2: The Source of Logic[/u][/b]

So here's the deal. We all know that the same light cannot be both "red" and "not red" at the same time. It's common sense, right? And what about the law of gravity that keeps us from floating around in the air? These are theories that scientists come up with, but unless you are a Christian, you have no guarantee that these laws are going to be the same tomorrow as they are today.

You say, "But it's always been that way. According to the Theory of [insert-name-of-some-theory-that-says-laws-of-physics-and-logic-can't-change-here], these laws will never change because they have always been the same."

That's not good enough evidence to a Christian, just the same as the "Bible proving itself" holds no water against a non-Christian, though the Bible does prove itself when you look at it not as one book, but the mixture of sixty-six different books and multiple authors that it really is. But that's not what we're here to discuss.

See, a Christian can actually give a better explanation than that. The Laws of Logic (for example, the "Law of Non-Contradiction") have never changed and never will change because we have a God who the bible tells us is unchanging ([url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Job+23:13&version=NKJV]Job 23:13[/url], [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Malachi+3:6&version=NKJV]Malachi 3:6[/url], [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews%2013:8&version=NKJV]Hebrews 13:8[/url]) and is the source of knowledge, which is the source of logic ([url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+2:9&version=NKJV]Genesis 2:9[/url]). Because God is the source of all logic and is unchanging, then His logic will never change, and the laws of logic shall ever stay constant.

Similarly we can say the same for the Laws of Physics, which were created because of God's logic. Therefore because God's logic is unchanging, He has also made the Laws of Physics unchanging.

However, if you do not believe in God, the only explanation you can give is "it's never changed before", which holds no water because things have changed before according to science, because no scientific law or theory that is currently in effect can explain how the universe came to be, yet it obviously did, so the laws and theories had to work in reverse so that the universe and the earth and life could be created, which somehow happened to reverse just in the nick of time so that asteroids suddenly created craters rather than mountains, and life began to degrade and stopped evolving, etc. It's easier just to believe in God. I don't know how anyone thinks this other stuff makes sense.

And yes, I used science to prove God exists. Kind of. I should do this more often; it's fun.
