What is Logic?
This thread is a discussion about what logic is, its importance, how to use it, how "easy" it can be, and also to be used as a reference for other threads. A great book for further study of logic and its application is "Come Let us Reason" by Norman Geisler.
What is Logic?
It is the function of the wise man to know order. - Aristotle
Logic isn't really so tough. In fact, it's one of the simplest things to use because you use it all the time, though you may not realize it.
When you are at a supermarket and one brand of sugar is 3 cents per ounce, but another is 39 cents per lb. It it doesn't take long for you to pull out your calculator. You do that because you recognize that those ounces and pounds have to be put in the same catagory to be compared. That's logic. You use logic to do most everything. When you decide to take a shower after you work out instead of before, you don't necessarily go through all the formal steps it takes to reach that conclusion validly, but your decision rests on logic nonetheless.
