The following paper will provide a sound argument in favor of the
existence of God. By demonstrating that an Atheist world cannot account for the
preconditions of the laws of logic an Atheist cannot even account for a rational debate
concerning the existence of God.
The impossibility of the contrary, the best and only proof
that the nesesary truth of the existence of God is his revelation of himself to us that
makes it possible for us to use logic. This could be translated, using only nessesary
truths, into the form of:
L: (laws of logic)
G: (God exists)
if L entails G
L
================
G
Logic is the laws of reasoning that God has established. If God has
established these laws of reasoning that we call logic then how could the Atheist system
account for the laws of logic. First they are immaterial and universal, and how could
anything immaterial and universal be accounted for in a naturalistic (matter only)
universe. Second if God has established these laws of reasoning then there would be no
atheism. An Atheist wants to believe in laws of logic which are universal in application,
but in order to escape the ultimate implications of this idea ( there is a God who imposes
universal standards of reason.), the Atheist will try to maintain that the laws of
logic are merely conventions of general agreement amongst them. This is
philosophically non-acceptable, if logic were simply a matter of convention, it would be
impossible to have any kind of rational debate because either side could win by simply
stipulating different laws of logic by convention. Therefore since universal laws cannot
be changed by convention since they hold constant in all possible worlds is it not fair to
say then that there is a God who imposes universal standards of reason.
