Do You Believe In Logic?

Question

(yes, this is a serious question so no mean comments)

I suppose I do believe in logic (who doesn't?), but I don't like things to be logical. I love thee unlogical! Including the paranormal, strange cases, and things that don't make sense. The only thing that bothers me is there is usually no (logical) expanation so it keeps me wondering. I could give you an example of no logic in one case, but then it takes to long to write...

Anways, do you believe in logic? Do you perfer things logical or unlogical and do you believe in the unlogical, like the things listed above? Why/why not?

Answer 1

Yes. I do believe in logic, but I also believe that not all things follow logic. There are things in this world that logic and logical people cannot explain. I like the set rules of logic, but I also like the dumbfounded looks on people's faces when they are faced with something that their logic cannot explain.

Answer 2

Each person to his or her own I think

Answer 3

I think everyone wants to believe that there is something else out there. Everyone wants to believe something other than their meaningless consumer driven lives. Why listen to logic and reason? Why not go out and have fun? Believe in ghosts and aliens and cryptzoology, and all that. Why not?

Answer 4

OMG...this question inspired  me to write my answer in song form..it's a (semi-serious) take off on the 60s song "Do You Believe In Magic" by the Loving Spoonful.  See link below for the melody.

I think you'll relate as will others interested in things outside the "logical" realm...

Do you believe in logic

in someone's head?

Can you really explain away things

you don't understand or you dread?

and it's logic

when you don't want to emotionally invest

when you think staying

cold and calculating is really what's best

but just because something's unusual

or doesn't make much sense

why would you just blow it off or

or try to build up some sort of defense?

there's certain things in life

you can't analzye or tear apart

such as emotions, or feelings

that come straight from the heart

You can tell me about logic

but it will never ever free the soul

any more than explaining about magic

would be like trying telling a stranger

about rock and roll

So no, I don't believe in only logic

(like some, like some believe)

I don't believe in only logic

(like some, like some believe)

Answer 5

Logic seems a good way to get out of the stuff you mentioned..

and people rather believe logic than anything strange

I believe in logic but yeah it can lead to a pretty close mind

I'm pretty open minded about things though... so depends on the situation really

Answer 6

Yes, I believe in logic and most of my actions, when I do not know the actual facts, are based on logic. No one can live without using logic here and there in life.

Answer 7

When it comes to keeping my sanity, I prefer logic, lol. But I LOVE anything that doesn't make sense, like ufo's, ghosts/spirits, bizarre unsolved mysteries, astrology, dreams,etc. etc. It keeps me wondering about the universe, and is the unknown somehow connected to what we THINK we know! I think that everything in the universe is somehow related to everything else, and it all one big cosmic "MIND-F__K!!! LOL ;o
