  "content": "\n‘Reason as the Cause of the Universe (God) is Rationally Consistent’ by Maclain Hunter: \n\nDefinitions: \n\nGod: The Origin and Ruler of the Cosmos; the Moral Authority and Logical Standard of Truth and Existence.\n\nLogic/Reason: The Logical Standard of and in Logic and/or Reason (and logicking and/or reasoning).\n\nPremises: \n\nP: You will NEVER find the REASON THE UNIVERSE EXISTS (God - Logos - the “Logic to it All”) without accepting Reason (Logos - God - the “Logic of the Universe”) as the logical and final answer that it is (necessarily and as a matter of Reason, Logic, & Coherent Universal Structure).\n\nQ: Assume for a moment that P is false. This can’t be so because that would mean that the Universe is illogical and in such a case nothing would logically exist or be intelligent/intelligible, including this proof and its writer (Maclain Hunter - a manifestation of Universal Reason and Logic living with stability in the stable Reality that is consistently Reality). It would mean that there is no such thing as real Logic (grounded in Reality’s own consistency and logical coherence). It would mean that even the “Universal Logic” (Universal Explanation) is somehow NOT the “Universal Explanation” (Universal Reason and Logic - the self-explanatory “First Cause of Logic” - the “Logos”). That is necessarily not the case as it defies and would negate totally the necessary Logic/Logos (Universal Reason and what it entails, which includes all instances of and the whole of Existence). \n\nR: P is true as Q argues, and Logic (Logos - God - Universal Reason) is irrefutable.\n\nS: It is “illogical” to have a worldview where Logic is not the main driving force (of physical and metaphysical “logical drive”), by definition. That is logically inconsistent and an example of a view that abandons (at some point or many points) coherent Reason, Logic, and Reality.\n\nFormal Arguments (Proofs):\n\n1. {P, P <-> Q, Q -> R, R -> P} |= (P & Q) & R\n\n2. {P <-> S} |= P <-> S\n\nConclusion: (P & Q) & (R & S): \n\nNecessarily, to be rational, we must accept Reason as God (Logic and Logic as the Universal Origin and Source of Knowledge). All alternatives are untenable, inherently unreasonable, and logically invalid (irrational). This conclusion is not a religious belief but a matter of logical deductions and the very “Structure of Logic and Reality” (Logos), which cannot be refuted or reasonably believed to be nonexistent (or in any way “irrational”) as such a belief or argument naturally and obviously contradicts, defies, and even blatantly disrespects Logic - which will not be allowed to stand in the end.\n\nTruth Table 1: \n\nvalid\n    ↓  ↓   ↓   ↓       ↓  \nPQR⎪P P↔Q Q→R R→P╞(P&Q)&R\n――――――――――――――――――――――――――\nTTT⎪T TTT TTT TTT  TTT TT\nTTF⎪T TTT TFF FTT  TTT FF\nTFT⎪T TFF FTT TTT  TFF FT\nTFF⎪T TFF FTF FTT  TFF FF\nFTT⎪F FFT TTT TFF  FFT FT\nFTF⎪F FFT TFF FTF  FFT FF\nFFT⎪F FTF FTT TFF  FFF FT\nFFF⎪F FTF FTF FTF  FFF FF\n\nTruth Table 2:\n\nvalid\n    ↓   ↓  \nPS⎪P↔S╞P↔S\n―――――――――――\nTT⎪TTT TTT\nTF⎪TFF TFF\nFT⎪FFT FFT\nFF⎪FTF FTF\n",
