Scripture, logic, and existence

So, is there any Scripture that indicates that the universe was created from the principles of logic?

John 1:1,
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Through him (the Word) all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made."

And John 1:14,
"The Word became flesh and made his dwelling with us..."

And John 17:17,
"Sanctify them by the truth; your Word is truth."

And John 8:44,
"...He (the devil) was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him."

 

Now, a word is a symbol representing things and events. It is a proposition about what may or may not be the case. In the above Scriptures we see that the very first element of creation was a proposition that was true. The first event in reality was that truth became separate from falsehood. God represents truth, and the devil represents falsehood. Everything else in creation was created as a result of truth becoming distinguished from false.

Also, we see that truth in this context represents things that exist - In the beginning was (came into existence) the Word (which is Truth). And falsehood represents things that become non existent - he was a murderer (destroying what exists), for no truth was in him (he was false).
