There Must Be A Self-Defining Truth
- Logic is the process of deducing truths from one or more precedent truth(s).
- Without a precedent truth from which deductions can be made, there can be no logic.
- One or more precedent truths must exist before logic deduction is possible.
- At least some truth(s) must precede all logic, and these truths are aspects of the nature of God as a precedent for all that can be thought.
- It is illogical to argue that logic precludes the existence of God, the precedent of all that we can know.
Variation
- No word is self-defining.
- But there must be a first word that is self-defining.
- "I am, who I am" describes the God who is self-defining
Note: This argument is a variation of the first cause argument: "There must be a first cause that is uncaused, and that is what we call God."
