Logic or Phony Baloney?

Google some words and learn some things.

Formal logic

Informal logic

Mathematical logic

And then for fun google "trivium" &/or (logical &/or) "quadrivium"

Of course the other term you might want to define is 'teach' . . . teach what?

And don't forget "boolean algebra" and "set theory" and "programmatic logic"


and I ain't teeched much of nuthin' in a week or two.

 

and then there's always preacher's logic :tongue3: which is a branch of .... never mind :BangHead:

 

It is a branch of mathematics, but it is not exclusive to mathematics.

 

Then also there is www.christianlogic.com where one can learn to think critically and also how to teach children to process information correctly and make informed decisions in a biblical manner! Its a great site!

 

wow... people actually studying logic... what an insightful concept... we need more people like that.

God bless!

 

Do not forget about HEAVENLY PILGRIM LOGIC... whatever I want to believe is right.

 

It would have helped you if you had read up on the scope of the different areas of 'logic'. Google would do you a good start.

While formal logic can be represented mathematically, mathematical logic is usually described using boolean logic (algebra) or set theory.

Informal logic does not break down as easily as formal logic. It is not 'more difficult' to describe, however it is not as 'constrained' as formal logic.

Have fun.

 

Logic? Mathematics? That's the Devil's Thinking. :laugh:

 

2BHizown about logic: // ... to process information correctly
and make informed decisions in a biblical manner ... //

The dogmatic person MUST not allow that to happen.

Dogmatic -- 2. asserting opinions in an arrogant manner

BTW, My 3rd grader ward had a lesson about bats
(the animal) where she correctly identified statements
of opinions and facts.

The idea of Mathematics is to quantize the nature of
the Universe (God's Creation).

The idea of Logic (from the Mathematics viewpoint)
is to comprehend the truth (God's Creation)
of the nature of the Universe (God's Creation).

 

Here is you a sermon from Sets (another branch of Mathmetics)

An infinite set may be divided into any finite number of
infinite sub-sets.

For example: eternity is an infinite number of time units
(days, hours, minutes, millinnial, etc.). Though there is a large
quanity of saints before the throne of God (Rev 7:14),
it is a finite number. So let me see, each person's time
with Jesus (say one minute every billion years) would be
an infinite sub-set of of Eternity. My time in heaven spent
with Brother Heavenly Pilgrim (HP) /say one hour each
Trillion years, will also be in infinite sub-set of eternity.
So I better learn to get along with brother Heavenly Pilgrim, for I
will spend an eternity ALONE with him.

Interesting, Mathematics & Sermons :saint:

 

How do you define 'logic'?
How do you define 'mathematics'?

All mathematics (and for that matter: politics, religion, economy, etc)
can be developed by using logic.
So it only seems proper that, though originally logic was developed
outside mathematics, that mathematics took logic as a way to
explain mathematics.

One part of logic is for people to agree upon basic definitions
and basic statements. But the start of basic definitions depends
upon certain 'undefined terms' (that doesn't mean we don't have
the foggiest what those terms mean, but that the undefined
term represents the basic statements.
Examples:

If your undefined terms are point, line, and plane; then your logic
will develop a geometry.

If your undefined terms are man, God, faith; then your logic
will develop a religion.
CAVEAT: Christianity is NOT a religion (man trying to figure out
and reach out to God). Christianity is God reaching out to man.

If your undefined terms are man, the state, and thier relationships;
then your logic will develop a politics.

More next post about the meaning and purpose of
the 'basic statements' and a short history thereof.
