Tautologicality and Christian Conceptualism

This is some atheist named Barry on the internet responding to Hays’ about logic on the article “From Whence Does Logic Come? (And why you can’t use it to prove God)”.

He, for example, thinks the Bible teaches that the universe fits this model: On the other hand, he is a scientist. He loves to see his ideas correspond with an exterior reality. … Continue reading Rowe’s Dilemma
