If God and spirit are anything, they are transcendent - transcending pure empirical science and reason/logic.

If you wish to reduce your religion to this, you have reduced God out of it.

God is certainly logical and doesn't transcend logic. He came here to present Himself, tell us who He is and what He was about. He was completely logical. His words and the spirit He presented are subject to rational study. The world is subject to rational study, but not Heaven. In simple physics, it is imaginary and off bounds. In other physics theories that are consistent with this world apply to other possible worlds. In the end, there will be duals that are the same here, but different elsewhere. "If you wish to reduce your religion to this, you have reduced God out of it."

I've reduced nothing. I've gained in knowledge and understanding. I'm just not satified with clutching my chest and saying God is in here.
