Q&A: A Non-Skeptical Question About Logic
A Non-Skeptical Question About Logic
Question
I’m not a skeptic. I accept claims as true or false within our reality, to the extent that we can be sure; I accept the existence of logic; and I accept that the laws of physics are complex and special, and that the Creator probably created them.
And still I ask: maybe that Creator is above logic—not out of skepticism, but out of the thought that we do not know the nature of things beyond our reality and beyond our capacity for thought, or the attributes of the Creator. How can I be sure that He is subject to logic (at least to the same degree that I am sure He exists)?
Isn’t it a legitimate position to assume that logic exists only for things within our experience, like you do with the compositeness-and-complexity argument?
Answer
I didn’t understand the question. What does this have to do with logic? And why would anything here change if the Creator were not subject to logic? I’m the one using logic here when I prove His existence. Besides that, it’s obvious that He is “subject” to logic. See, for example, my article here: https://www.google.com/url?client=internal-element-cse&cx=f18e4f052adde49eb&q=https://mikyab.net/%25D7%259B%25AA%25D7%2591%25D7%2599%25D7%259D/%25D7%259E%25D7%2590%25D7%259E%25D7%25A8%25D7%2599%25D7%259D/%25D7%25A2%25D7%259C-%25D7%25AA%25D7%2595%25D7%25A8%25D7%25AA-%25D7%2594%25D7%25A7%25D7%2595%25D7%2595%25D7%25A0%25D7%2598%25D7%2599%25D7%259D-%25D7%2595%25D7%2598%25D7%25A2%25D7%25A0%25D7%2595%25D7%25AA-%25D7%2590%25D7%259E%25D7%2595%25D7%25A0%25D7%2595%25D7%25AA-%25D7%25A1%25D7%25AA%25D7%2599%25D7%25A8%25D7%25AA%25D7%2599/&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwjBw5iR07-OAxXuWkEAHW9wNWAQFnoECAkQAQ&usg=AOvVaw0xdmPizs3Hb6n4deokSX1_&arm=c&fexp=73019454,73019456,72986053,72986052
