It’s impossible to argue with a poet, so I won’t even try!

Think of me as something other than a poet, though I am known to write poems as well as songs.

Think of me as.....a student and a farmer.

Since you brought up logic, let us examine logic. Now, it seems to me that scientific method is a method to serarch for truth by observation and repetition of an experiment. However to make valid an observation and the repeatable outcomes requires one to utilize certain philosophical tools. These tools are reason, logic, mathematics, and First Principles. None of these tools can be proven by applying scientific method. However, even you, will agree that logic is a tool of the scientist. (If not, advise me otherwise, and I will go back to basics). If you say science is the only objective truth, then you have just claimed something(science) is an objective truth not a scientific truth and thus you invalidate your arguement. That arguement defeats itself.

If one states that materialist darwinism is the explaination for logic, truth, and reason, then reason is, itself, completely impossible. The reason is because this makes mental processes (thinking) nothing more than a chemical raction occurring in the cerebral cortex. There is no reason to believe that anythi;ng is true including the theory of materialism. Chemicals cannot evaluate anything.

So the Darwinist, who claims to be the arbiter of truth, reason and logic have made truth, reason and logic impossible by theirdevotion to materialsim. So even if the darwinist and materialist onrare, extrememly rare occasions correct, they give us no reason to believe anything they say, because reason, logic, and truth is made impossible by their very devotion to darwinian evolution. Moreover, the darwinsit assertion makes reason a impossible, but that we should rely on reason alone cannot be justified by darwinian theory. The reason is because reason is made impossible in a darwinan worldview, and requires faith

Either our ability to reason and apply logic and apprehend the truth comes from a dead, brute, materialsit, darwinist world or it came from a prexisting intelligence. If there is another possibility please let me know. To believe either requires faith. We say faith, because it contradicts truth apprehended by scientific method, and in the darwinists world there is no other way to apprehend the truth or use logic and reason.

Materialist darwinists can no more explain reason, logic and truth than it can explain the origin of life. Materialism is just not reasonable.
