Hey guys, can anybody scientifically prove to me that logic is real?

I only believe things I can scientifically measure.

I require 100% proof in order to believe.

So it sounds like you don't believe there are things such as love, peace, patience, forgiveness, justice, good or evil. Hmm.

But as far as your question is concern, math is the language of nature. Galileo said that science is written in the language of mathematics. Pythagoras said the universe is made of numbers. Does it not follow, then, that science proves that logic is real?

[Jeffrey]

Science deals with observable facts about the nature of something What does logic taste like? What does it smell like? Is it heavy? Light? Can you throw logic?

[jimwalton]

I find it quite interesting that you're trying to use logical reasoning to prove to me that you don't believe in logical reasoning. Here's a challenge for you: Prove this statement by science and scientific measure: "I only believe things I can scientifically measure." What does this belief of your taste like, or smell like? Can you throw this belief? If not, then you belief itself is unscientific and you must abandon it.
