God is Logic.

HomeTOC

These are the virtues attributed to "GOD":

All knowing
All powerful,
Omnipresent,
Eternal.

These are the attributes of Logic:

It determines what the facts will be. It maintains that each fact in reality must be consistent with every other fact in reality; nothing that exists can prove that anything else that exists in fact does not exist. Therefore, the present must be consistent with the past in that everything that exists today has developed in a logical order from its constituents that have existed in the past. And likewise, the future is predestined to develop from the facts in the present. So in the sense that Logic determines what all the facts in reality will be, Logic is All powerful.

And if in theory all the facts can be deduced from those in the present, then Logic knows all things.

The rules of logical consistency exist at any and all points in reality whether it be here or the farthest galaxy simply because Reality is defined as the complete set of all consistent facts that can be derived from logical principles. So Logic in this sense is Omnipresent.

And of course, the rules of logical consistency will remain the same for all time. For we know that the facts in the future must be consistent with the facts of the past. So in this sense Logic is Eternal.

So, I reason that if two concepts share ALL the same attributes, then they are the same thing. The burden on those who object is now to show that there are attributes that one has but not the other. I can't think of any.

Thus, I say that God is Logic. What else could He be - some being who is constructed of more fundamental parts - some intellect that has developed over a vast period of time? These cannot claim to have always been Eternal, nor Omnipresent, nor All powerful, nor all knowing, which are required attributes for a claim of being "GOD".

And if God is Logic Itself, then you can not argue that God does not exist. For you would only prove by the effort of making your argument that you are relying on the principles of Logic which you presuppose exists. Or more formally, if it is not true that there is something that will prove that logic does not determine the facts, then it must be true that all thing do prove that logic does determine the facts. This follows the logic of eq.41

Another argument is as follows:
The constraints of Logic determine what the facts will be. And the ancients attributed God as that which controls everything in the universe. So I conclude that they both must be the same concept. For since any given fact cannot be both true and false, then Logic and God must agree on absolutely everything that exists. They are one.
