In Reply to: You cannot deduce the unprovable with logic. posted by Gideon Hallett on November 15, 1999 at 22:11:24:
Gideon,You might perhaps be frustrated with my insistence that my belief in a Prime Mover comes from a process of logical deduction, and it may be true that I don't fully understand the concept of "logic." But let me ask you this: is not a process of elimination a logical way to proceed? That is what I've done in the case of the question of the origin of the universe. When I deconstruct what I know about the physical world, I come back to the same question: where did it all come from? At this point, I hit a brick wall, and I can only conclude that the answer is God. Of course it's a belief, but I maintain, one I've come to logically through a process of elimination. It might be that the conclusion of "God" is the one conclusion you can reach by logic, yet not be able to disprove, and yet still label a logical conclusion.
