Although all knowledge, including Philosophy, the Physical Sciences, and the Social Sciences, is based on logic or must be based on logic, modern gurus have somehow placed these against logic, and some are even trying to prove them superior to logic. This is so absurd that anyone who is slightly knowledgeable in argumentation can easily recognize it. All knowledge that is not based on logic or defies logic is worthless. Logical principles are either empirical truth or based on empirical reality. It is impossible to test those, and it is equally impossible to deny them. If you jump off the sixth floor, you will fall towards Earth due to the gravitational force; if you throw a ball upward and forward at an angle, it will take a curved path, first upward and then downward, because of the force exerted on it by your hand and the force of gravity.
It is much easier to test the natural laws related to the physical stuff. However, it is hard to test the natural laws in the non-physical sphere. We either know that these are true, or data shows that these are true—for example, the supply and demand principle. Increased supply reduces prices and vice versa; increased demand increases prices and vice versa. Blue, for whatever reason, is blue. Vanilla smells like Vanilla without any plausible reason or testing necessary. The guitar sounds like a guitar. Love happens when it happens. Except for a tiny proportion of the universe that is matter, it is tough, if not impossible, to measure anything, and it requires technology, even if possible. Yet we all know and appreciate these qualities and quantities. Most of the beauty in this world and life is due to these immeasurable quantities and qualities.
Most of the universe around us, visible or invisible, is just natural and just the way it is. The sky is blue; oceans are full of water; air blows; mountains stand tall; deserts span over large areas; forests grow and spread; animals wander around. A person is intelligent and beautiful or an ugly idiot. Animals eat plants and each other, and so do we. Every living thing strives to sustain and prolong its life, attempting to make itself immortal through reproduction. The sun shines, water evaporates from oceans and other reservoirs, forms clouds, thunder occurs, rain falls, and brings water back to the Earth. Water is essential for life, but it can also cause severe weather conditions, including storms, floods, and tsunamis. Air is vital to all aerobic life, but it can also cause tornadoes and other destructive and disastrous events.
Nothing in the universe is good or bad. Everything that exists, everything that we experience or not, has a full spectrum of qualities, from good, spanning over to bad. In my lifetime, every new major technology was going to end the world. But ultimately, each one of those turned out to be overall beneficial. There are usually two major groups. One sees only the good side and tries to convince us that this will be the best thing that has ever happened to humanity. Others would see only the bad side and scare us with alarm that it will be the end of the world. The reality always turns out to be somewhere in the middle, leaning mainly toward the good and often overwhelmingly so. Unlike what governments and organized religions tell us, there is no absolute evil, and there is no absolute good. Everything is somewhere in the middle.
This is particularly true in the case of intelligent beings like humans who have the choice between good and evil. We can choose between infinite possibilities. Most people would not jump off the sixth floor and take an elevator instead, but some would, rightfully or wrongfully, or due to some combination of both. We may decide to take the path of not causing harm to someone else, or we may choose to take the path of crime and violence. You may decide to eat more, less, or stay in moderation. You may choose to cover yourself from head to toe or be butt naked. You may decide to work hard and creatively and live in a palace or go on welfare and live a disgraceful and impoverished life on the street. You may make healthy or unhealthy choices. You can make yourself more productive and beneficial by learning and improving your skills, or you can remain ignorant and unskilled.
You may also create, help, or be part of a voluntary, moral, and peaceful organization or institution, such as a business. Alternatively, you may also create, help, and be part of a coercive, involuntary, and violent organization or institution, such as a government. With the first choice, you will be productive and beneficial, generating wealth peacefully and morally, thereby not only benefiting yourself and your family but also society as a whole. With the second choice, you will steal, lie, deceive, commit violence and wars, and coerce your fellow human beings. The choice is usually in your hands, in the hands of an individual. You could be good, and you could be bad. You could be beneficial, and you could be harmful. You can be productive, but you can also be a hindrance.
The problem that Atheist ideology has created is that it wants you to lose this distinction. Most of these qualities are not testable. You cannot measure these in standardized units. You recognize, value, adapt, and demonstrate these qualities through your actions and behavior, good or bad. Testable is most definitely not superior to the untestable. The use of testable is primarily subject to untestable. Are you going to use your creativity to benefit yourself, your family, and society at large? Or you are going invest it in death, destruction, violence, wars, coercion, and immoral behaviors. Will you make people’s lives better, easier, more comfortable, and more productive, or will you force them constantly to go your way, leaving no other choice, regardless of the consequences, even if your way is the worst?
