Was logic invented by an pagan philosopher named Aristotle?
St. Augustine, a Christian in the fourth century, answered this question. Augustine explained that logic is not an invention of pagan philosophers, as some men objected, but a science which man has learned from God. “…[T]he validity of logical sequences is not a thing devised by men, but is observed and noted by them…. …[I]t exists eternally in the reason of things, and has its origin with God. Logic is not a dubious non-Christian method of reasoning. All of the fundamental laws of logic can be found in the Bible.
