Logic is a tool, not an end in of itself. All logical systems rest on their base assumptions, if one of those base assumptions is not true, then the logic can be internally consistent but flawed.

If I start out (as some recent authors do) with the base assumption that there is no God, then logically Christianity (and all other religions) is a false philosophy and needs to be discredited. There are many well thought out and logical systems along that line that are very internally consistent.

If however, you start with the base assumption that God DOES exist, you get a very different result using the rules of logic. The logic can be correct, and the answer radically wrong.

Absolutely! That's why it is so important to have the immovable, moral foundation of Scripture, and not the shifting sand of tradition, or philosophies of men.

Within the world created for us, there are certain truths outside of the Bible. The best example is mathematics. That's why I used the example that, "Even God can't make 1 + 1 equal 3". The fact that 1 + 1 = 2 is irrefutable truth, and hence God cannot change it.
