A Universe with God

Logical Argument Logic is the greatest system of thought man possesses: it enables him to understand concepts at the rational level. Through logic, ideas are made rationally understandable. There are two major kinds of logic — optional logic and compulsive logic. Both of these methods of logic are equally dependable methods. When either of these logical methods is applied to prove any point, the result will be accepted as established. Optional Logic Optional logic is that which allows the possibility of accepting either of two propositions. By applying certain methods, we can make a reasoned choice. For instance, take sunlight. When we look at sunlight with the naked eye, it appears to be of a single colour. But on seeing sunlight through a prism, this same light is divided into seven colours. This leaves us with two options regarding the colour of sunlight. Now, thanks to advances in science, it becomes possible for us to see which option carries more logical weight. That is why the seven-colour option has come to be accepted as a reality. It has been upheld by a superior logic. Compulsive logic The case of compulsive logic differs in that only one option presents itself. One is compelled to accept that option and no other, for no other option is available. As regards compulsive logic, man has to accept it, there being no other alternative. One obvious example of compulsive logic is that of acknowledging the identity of one’s mother. Everyone believes one particular woman to be his mother. Despite not having seen himself being born, he is compelled to accept this as a fact, and clings to it as a matter of conviction. His belief results from compulsive logic. He maintains this belief because, in this matter, his position is that he has no other option but to accept one particular woman as his mother. Belief in the existence of God pertains to this same kind of compulsive logic. On the question of God’s existence, the actual point is that we have no option in this matter. We are compelled to believe in the existence of God. For if we did not believe in the existence of God, we Intelligent creation is clearly proof of an Intelligent Creator.
