1. The laws of logic exist.
a. Law of identity - something is what it is and is not what it is not. b. Law of non-contradiction - something cannot be what it is not. c. Law of excluded middle - there is no third option to a true/false statement
2. The laws of logic are not dependent on time, space, matter, or human minds.
a. Not dependent on time - the laws of logic won't be anymore or less valid five minutes from now. b. Not dependent on space - the laws of logic aren't truer here than it is a billion light years away from earth. c. Not dependent on matter - the laws of logic are axiomatic and abstract concepts. d. Not dependent on human minds - the laws of logic are definitive and not disagreeable. Human minds contradict and disagree on everything, except the fundamental laws of logic.
3. Therefore, the laws of logic are transcendent. 4. Therefore, the laws of logic are dependent on something transcendent. 5. Therefore, the laws of logic are dependent on a transcendent mind. 6. The transcendent mind is God.

| The part about the transcendent mind being God is stupid because it could be a lot of other things as well. Everything up the the last line though sounds pretty legit... |

@silver Until which part is it not stupid to believe up to? By my conclusion of drawing the line between "transcendent mind" and "God", I mean that the giver of logic must be something, somethings, someone, or someones who or that are transcendent. If I were to draw the line between this logical deduction to the trinitarian God as revealed in the Bible, that'd be a stretch, but this logical deduction is a part of Christian presuppositional apologetics that helps us alter our presuppositions in order to have capability to believe further in what the Bible reveals to us in.

Tenal stop pretending to be smart.
Your half baked thoughts don't even make sense, you have zero evidence that this "mind" is anything like a "god" most humans know of, even then why do you make assumption based on your pre understood idea of a god.
This argument is as strong as, I like to play checkers, there are players so the players must of created the universe.. |

isseman, I'd very much appreciate it if you explained to me why my "half baked thoughts" don't make sense. This is not something I thought up of while under the influence but an actual Christian presuppositional argument with very weak objections.

1. You are attempting to state the laws of logic when you don't know the topic and show how hard you are trying to be "smart". For example ." Law of excluded middle - there is no third option to a true/false statement" is proof you know little but just google things lol.
There are third options that are niether true or false, ever heard of truth value? Didn't think so.
2. You are making the assumption that something transedent is going to be a mind? You have no basis for this at all and im pretty sure you made that up even when I agree with your "maxims" lol
gtfo you know little |

| The thing is this "transcendent mind" could be an alien that creates matter by thinking it into existance, but not God. Don't get me wrong I actually agree with everything else, the logic makes sense and this is coming from an Atheist. |

There is no third option to a true false statement: "This statement is false" |

Truth-value in classical logic only has two values - true and false. The law of excluded middle is a fundamental law of logic. It's not a difficult concept; it's a bit odd you automatically assume I'm googling all of this information as if it's beyond the scope of average comprehension to use the transcendental argument.
From transcendent to transcendent mind, what other option is there?

| I feel you're ignoring me Tenal, who's to say this "Transcendent Mind" is something other than the God you are led to believe. |

The options are irrelevant, you have no basis and are just spitting random things.
And if you knew anything truth value, you would know there are values in between true and false, but okay....
Your argument is weak, its not even one, its just as credible as someone claiming they saw god. Why are you making the assumption it would be transcedent, even if it was, how would you know its like a "mind" if it is beyond our scope
You contradicted yourself already, I dont know who you are trying to impress but damn you are trying |

Your proof has a few problems. First off, the "laws of logic" are themselves unproven axioms upon which logic is based, their "existence" being dependent on our acceptance of the axioms.
You move on to claim that the laws of logic are independent of time, space, matter, or the human mind. I answer that d) makes an unwarranted claim about logic, namely that the laws of logic are absolutely independent of the individual. The "laws" are merely axioms we've accepted that we might order our thoughts, conversations, and "world".
The final part of your argument tries to, from the claim that the laws of logic are "transcendent", argue that the axioms of logic are themselves dependent on the transcendent mind "God". Why must the "laws of logic" be dependent on anything more than mathematics and the natural law? Why invoke a transcendent being when what we see may be explained otherwise?
Please feel free to respond to my criticisms and justify each and every one of your proposals.

Wow actually intelligent people reply to a wannabe with his half baked thoughts
Thanks, false. If you agreed with his "logic" you would see the contradictions even then lol
