More Questions for Atheists

Posted on April 23, 2007 by Charles Churchill

If the universe is composed entirely of matter and there is nothing that is not matter, then what matter makes up the laws of logic?

Follow up: If your answer to the previous question is that logic is a construct of the mind, made up by man, and is an arbitrary set of mutually accepted ideas, then please tell me this: If we use logic and reasoning to determine truth/knowledge, then by what means did we determine that logic and reasoning are true/useful ?

    Heh, heh.

    Actually, now you’re being mean, because when confronted with a series of these questions, the atheist’s head explodes.

    More likely, the atheist will merely respond that the laws of logic do not in fact exist, even as a construct of the mind. That is. there is no absolute truth to begin with. Of course, that again begs the question of how we evolved to a point where our minds created something that, by definition, has no value to our continued survival as a species.

    Cheers.

    Nice. I think you’re on a roll, pointing to some of the more ludicrous assumptions vital to the naturalistic worldview.
