<p>&#8220;Absolute Tuth Exists&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Absolute Truth Does not Exist&#8221;<br />
&#8220;I Don&#8217;t Know if Absolute Truth Exists&#8221;<br />
&#8220;I Don&#8217;t Care if Absolute Truth Exists&#8221;</p>
<p>The first button takes you to a page with two buttons. </p>
<p>&#8220;Laws of Logic Exist&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Laws of Logic Do Not Exist&#8221;</p>
<p>If you continue to click on the first button on each page then you will read that the laws of logic, math, science and absolute morality are immaterial, universal and unchanging and could only exist in a universe governed by God.   </p>
<p> This sounds like a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deductive_reasoning">syllogism</a>:</p>
<p>(1) Absolutes exist.<br />
(2) Absolutes can only exist in a universe governed by God.<br />
(3) Therefore, God exists.</p>
<p>In order for the conclusion (3) to be true, both (1) and (2) must be true.  I don&#8217;t know if the first is true, but it seems to me that it is possible that it is true. [I have discussed <a href="http://dedwarmo.com/2005/03/08/was-hitler-evil/">elsewhere</a> the idea of absolute morality.] Premise (2) on the other hand is more difficult to believe.  Maybe it is just part of the nature of matter to behave in a way that gives us what we call the laws of science.  When I have discussed my doubts with Christians they tell me to ask God to show himself to me.  They say that if I immerse myself in the Bible I will begin to see the truth of God&#8217;s existence.  If prayer is necessary to believe in God, then what is the point of using deductive logic?</p>

<p>Psalm 19:1 &#8220;The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows his handywork.&#8221;</p>
<p>How people respond when they look at nature depends on what they&#8217;ve been taught about the natural world.  Depending on their world view they might see a mountain as a beautiful sculpture formed by an unseen hand or they might see it as the product of unimaginably powerful forces acting over incredibly long periods of time.  As humans we tend to anthropomorphize and equate movement and change with a kind of life:  Rivers run, trees sway, mountains grow, the wind blows, vines climb.  What do the stars say about God, if he exists?</p>

There was an Internet hoax going around that a woman said an elephant was larger than the Moon on a television game show. People laughed. Well now I have proof that not only are elephants larger than the Moon, but they are also larger than the Sun.
