It has been said that there is no exact logic but that is because there is no exact anything

It has been said that there is no exact logic but that is because there is no exact anything and once one presumes to do logic one is involved in the same box that mathematics occupies That would be the box of never being able to be exact Not finally + The reason for this conundrum  is not that God plays dice after all and leaves us destined to go off the several cliffs we see It is because the one I call Abba places within each of us the only freedom that is actually real That would be the freedom to choose among the values that are already there Let us place at the top of those "already values" non-idolatry That would be the voice from the burning bush refusing to give a name to the mystery that surrounds us That would be the cautionary theme of science in its highest form and of theology freed from its obligation to dumb things down + I am saying that to do proper logic one must acknowledge who we are with our manifest imperfections and celebrate the fact that we do have the capacity to choose the better values and that when we descend into such practices  as idolatry we foreclose or radically inhibit such choices The consequence is intellectual sclerosis The cure is acknowledging that even mathematics is a tool that logic is also a tool and that humility is the happy by-product of non-idolatry and that beyond the penumbra we cannot see
