Re: turtles all the way down..
Furthermore, even if it were true it would not prove that any one model (such as the fundamentalist literal christian) is correct.

(1) Everything that exists contingently has a reason for its existence.
Not proven to be a true statement. Until it is proven it would have to be taken on faith, and without it being proven the conclusion is invalid.
​
1. I see no compelling reason to turn from logic and replace it with being illogical.
It is not so much a matter of turning away from logic as it is of using it fully.

we are limited in our ability to understand
