Why is a domain beyond logic a problem?
The problem with this is that it destroys any proof of God’s existence. By definition any proof of God’s existence must operate using logic which makes reference to God. This means that the logic of the proof of God’s existence must be operating, at least partially, in the same domain as God. We have seen, however, that if God is superior to logic then the domain in which God exists is not constrained by logic. Therefore any proof of God’s existence is actually invalid. It simply does not work because logic no longer works in the vicinity of God. The case of a theist attempting to offer a proof of a god who is beyond logic is, basically: • God exists • God exists in some domain which is beyond logic. • I have a proof of God. X can only be explained by God. I have logic to show that, based on the existence of X, God exists. and the problem is that at least some of the logic in (3) – that part of the logic that refers directly to God – must be operating in the logic free domain introduce
