But I would not say logic is. You can actually prove logic. [/quote] but that's what i mean. proving is done by your brain. How can we know for sure? [/quote] If you have 2 buckets and condition is: only one is filled with water, you can verify this statement by checking wether both buckets are full. Of course, this requires sensoric proof, which in the end is created in your brain only, so we will never know for sure. But the more positive hits you receive, the higher chances are, that it actually is this way. E.g. you always fell down, never up. [/quote]
Original Message
Logic is what it is-- but we only see it through our brains which are biased. So do we believe in it?
My ultimate faith lies in logic. It also leads me to some very peculiar conclusions about life. They have similarities to aspects of Buddhism and some other concepts "preached" by people who meditate or do psychedelic drugs.
So is my faith in logic basically like a faith in God? Or even a faith directly in God?
Discuss. Please! (no this is not a bible thumping thread but everyone is welcome to say whatever)
