Therefore, we can conclude that the Universal Logic is the self-evident truth that underlies all reality, which exists independently of human beliefs and opinions, and that this is a well-formed formal logical proof.\n\n\n\nAnother Version: \n\nP: If there is no Universal Logic (God), then there would be no consistent and reliable means of reasoning.\nQ: We have consistent and reliable means of reasoning, such as propositional logic, which operate under certain basic principles and rules.\nR: These principles and rules cannot be arbitrary, as they must apply across all domains and situations to ensure their reliability and consistency.\nS: Therefore, there must be a Universal Logic (God) that provides the foundation for these principles and rules, which applies universally across all domains and situations.\nConclusion: Therefore, the Universal Logic (God) exists and is the foundation for all consistent and reliable forms of reasoning.\n",
