>>21357234There is an order to things. A structure. If there wasn't, empiricism would be completely pointless. In fact, you wouldn't even expect the sun to come up in the morning. There would be no patterns to anything.
This implies some sort of "Absolute Physical Laws", principles that guide the change of the physical universe. Our "science" is an attempt at discovering these natural laws, but we have no idea how far we've come.
Either way, there are APL. Our universe, from its initial conception (the big bang?) was guided by this set of rules and principles. This means our Physical Universe is Ontologically Dependent on these Absolute Physical Laws.
This structure itself is also dependent. It is dependent on Mathematics. Again, I'm not talking about our understanding of Mathematics, but a Absolute Mathematics behind our understanding of it. This AM dictates everything that occur within the APL, that is to say, the APL must adhere to AM laws, meaning that APL is ontologically dependent on AM.
Now look up the mathematical crisis of the 20th century. Long story short, Maths on its own is "incomplete", it requires logical axioms to work. So Math is ontologically dependent on Logic. Absolute Logic, or AL, leads to AM which leads to APL which leads to the physical universe.
So, what is Logic? The best definition anyone can come up with seems to be "the principles of true reasoning". Sometimes "true" is replaced by similar terms, such as "valid", "correct" or "sound", but I find "true" to encompass them all.
This implies that Logic can only operate with two components or factors: "Truth" and "Reasoning". There must be some Reasoning "thing" that understands Truth, in order for Logic to exist. And Logic would be ontologically dependent on this Truthful Reasoning "entity".
This is God. It's inescapable. There is no other conclusion to be drawn. God is the all-knowing creator, He reasoned the universe into being. It fits perfectly.
