Logic is designed to give inevitably true results starting from known true -- or assumed-to-be-true -- premises. Logic is a wonderful tool when we want only logical conclusions. We should not reject such a machine merely because it is not equipped to handle all of reality. The scientist who commits himself to use a logic machine is doing wisely, qua scientist, for use on data of science. But if he feeds into that machine convictions that there is not God, or ignores God because He is not in his corpus of data, and then draws from his logic the conclusion that God does not exist, his conclusion is irrelevant. Logic is a tool; it should not be made into a religion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7173</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every time I paint a portrait I lose a friend. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45433]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every time I paint a portrait I lose a friend.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45433</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By that sin fell the angels. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51360]]></link><description><![CDATA[By that sin fell the angels.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The outlines of an Asian employment crisis are already taking shape.
