The law of noncontradiction is this: “A cannot be both B and non-B at the same
time and in the same sense.” This law of
noncontradiction (as proposed through Aristotle) is important because, I feel, it’s
the foundation of all modern logic. If
anyone claims to believe in modern logic, and even goes as far as to use modern
logic to prove or disprove the existence of God or their sway in the theological mindset, then this law of noncontradiction must not be broken. If this fundamental law is broken, their
logic is flawed.
Personally, I believe that most of God, or simply a
higher power or being, falls and operates within the realms of human
logic. If one is to claim a universal
moral standard, the question can be raised on where that moral standard came
from. As far as God using the law of
noncontradiction Himself, I would argue that He does.
If God did not use the law of noncontradiction, then there would be no
classification of good or evil, for example, because the absence of that law
would argue for double standards (which God does not reside within). God wishes to make Himself known to people
and to use any way of revelation that no human can possibly fathom or
understand would be contradictory to His person. God is not completely outside the realm of
our understanding. There are parts of
God that we cannot fully begin to understand, but to say that there are parts
of God that we can begin to comprehend proves that God resides within the
boundaries of the logic within our minds.
