The use of logic in establishing truths

Back in the 1970s or so most folks were most confident that the planet was headed for a global iceage. By applying logic to observed fulfillment of numerous Biblical prophecies corroborated by other Biblical supportive phenomena I concluded that given so many other prophecies proved to be accurate, likely the prophecies relative to latter day global warming would also come to pass. I was among a small minority who discounted an iceage. My point is that quite often the masses have had it wrong, including many fundamental churchmen who were either not into the prophecies or had not done their homework sufficiently on them.I apply some of this logic to aspects of the Biblical record regarding events such as a global flood as well. Then via logic I conclude that properties of the atmosphere must have been very different before the flood etc. The masses have been taught otherwise from childhood on. Therefore if the ideology the masses have had programmed into their minds is wrong the masses may prove to be in error on a number of important accounts after all is said and done.

Thanks, Bluegenes and my apologies to Stile and Razd for this carelessness. How so must logic be applied only outside of the Biblical record? That makes no sense to me. Not at all. My point was that what is widely programmed into the masses should be open to logical reasoning pertaining to other data. The same goes with religion. Edited by Buzsaw, : No reason given.

I'm saying that much of what is axiomatic to the masses is not logically compatible to the data and/or the interpretation of data which others holding a minority view may apply.I'm still not sure how that goes with the DP view or whether it's even relative to his view on the meaning of axiomatic. Merriam Webster's #1 definition of axiomatic is "taken for granted."

In this sense it's not given. It's taken. Not necessarily if I understand you correctly. I of the minority here take some things for granted as in axiomatic which you may not. For example, I've familiarized myself with such things as the Biblical prophecies, phenominal personal experience and such over the past 62 years since my conversion to the extent that I take the fact that God exists for granted as in axiomatic.
