  "content": "How I Know God by Maclain Hunter\n\nPremises:\n\nP: It is possible to ask the question of how we know which God is real. \n\nQ: The answer to the question in P should cohere with Logic. \n\nR: A coherent answer to P that satisfies Q is that Logic is the True God - the Real Origin - the Coherent Foundation of Reality, logically equivalent to Full Coherence itself. So the True God is able to explain itself through Logic and its own logical structure (displayed observably as the Order in Reality that science often calls “fine-tuning”). \n\nS: The Coherence of Logic, as described in premise R, is also how we know God is ONE, because that’s what Coherence leads to and is - Unity/Integration.\n\nT: Assume the negation of the premise that the Origin of the Universe (called God) is Logic. This leads to logical contradiction. This shows us that Logic must be the Origin - the “One True God” (of Pure Reason and Coherent Logic). This God is known as the Logos (Universal Logic) in Greek Philosophy, Classical Logic/Theism, and Abrahamic Theology.\n\n{P, P <-> Q, Q <-> R, R <-> S, S <-> T} |= ((P & Q) & (R & S)) & T\n\nConclusion: {P, Q, R, S, T}:\n\nLogic is the way to know anything, especially why Logic has to be God, and coherent/one. It is not a matter of religious belief, logically speaking, though many religions agree with that notion (of Order as God), but of the need for self-consistent Reality and Reality (and First Cause) coherent Logic. \n\nvalid\n      ↓  ↓   ↓   ↓   ↓               ↓  \nPQRST⎪P P↔Q Q↔R R↔S S↔T╞((P&Q)&(R&S))&T\n――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――\nTTTTT⎪T TTT TTT TTT TTT   TTT T TTT  TT\nTTTTF⎪T TTT TTT TTT TFF   TTT T TTT  FF\nTTTFT⎪T TTT TTT TFF FFT   TTT F TFF  FT\nTTTFF⎪T TTT TTT TFF FTF   TTT F TFF  FF\nTTFTT⎪T TTT TFF FFT TTT   TTT F FFT  FT\nTTFTF⎪T TTT TFF FFT TFF   TTT F FFT  FF\nTTFFT⎪T TTT TFF FTF FFT   TTT F FFF  FT\nTTFFF⎪T TTT TFF FTF FTF   TTT F FFF  FF\nTFTTT⎪T TFF FFT TTT TTT   TFF F TTT  FT\nTFTTF⎪T TFF FFT TTT TFF   TFF F TTT  FF\nTFTFT⎪T TFF FFT TFF FFT   TFF F TFF  FT\nTFTFF⎪T TFF FFT TFF FTF   TFF F TFF  FF\nTFFTT⎪T TFF FTF FFT TTT   TFF F FFT  FT\nTFFTF⎪T TFF FTF FFT TFF   TFF F FFT  FF\nTFFFT⎪T TFF FTF FTF FFT   TFF F FFF  FT\nTFFFF⎪T TFF FTF FTF FTF   TFF F FFF  FF\nFTTTT⎪F FFT TTT TTT TTT   FFT F TTT  FT\nFTTTF⎪F FFT TTT TTT TFF   FFT F TTT  FF\nFTTFT⎪F FFT TTT TFF FFT   FFT F TFF  FT\nFTTFF⎪F FFT TTT TFF FTF   FFT F TFF  FF\nFTFTT⎪F FFT TFF FFT TTT   FFT F FFT  FT\nFTFTF⎪F FFT TFF FFT TFF   FFT F FFT  FF\nFTFFT⎪F FFT TFF FTF FFT   FFT F FFF  FT\nFTFFF⎪F FFT TFF FTF FTF   FFT F FFF  FF\nFFTTT⎪F FTF FFT TTT TTT   FFF F TTT  FT\nFFTTF⎪F FTF FFT TTT TFF   FFF F TTT  FF\nFFTFT⎪F FTF FFT TFF FFT   FFF F TFF  FT\nFFTFF⎪F FTF FFT TFF FTF   FFF F TFF  FF\nFFFTT⎪F FTF FTF FFT TTT   FFF F FFT  FT\nFFFTF⎪F FTF FTF FFT TFF   FFF F FFT  FF\nFFFFT⎪F FTF FTF FTF FFT   FFF F FFF  FT\nFFFFF⎪F FTF FTF FTF FTF   FFF F FFF  FF\n\nQ.E.D.",
