Can you explain in a semi-detailed way how presupposing a God would explain the existance universal logic?

Sure. One of the characteristics of this God that is presupposed as well as evidenced is that He is an eternal entity that is the standard of reason(logic) by which we judge all reason or logic by.
So God explains logic by presupposing that he explains logic? Can you evidence that?
Explain to me how an eternal being can be the standard of logic. What does that mean? Can I be a standard of logic? Can a rock be a standard of logic? Are you saying that he dictates what is logical and illogical?
If this eternal being was different, would "John Jumped and John Didn't Jump" not be a contradiction?
Also, saying that your presuppositions are better because you only presuppose one entity that somehow explains every other presupposition is really no different then saying, "I only presuppose one thing, that the statement "logic exists, morality exists, etc." is true" Is that as valid a presupposition as God?
