I say logic is material I'll start with this. How much does it way? What is the smallest volume it occupies? Where is some of it located? jfred, why move the discussion from logic, in a single leap, to use the word God? Not really a leap. I started with some properties of logic, which parallel properties of 'god' that you can find in Greek philosophical musings and in Aquinas. Timelessness. Perfection. Necessity. I don't think it's right to say that.... it's self-defining and self-existent, not dependent on anything else. I agree on this point. Which brings us to the question of what defines it, what makes it exist, and what does it depend upon? Unless logic is just a convenient tool that 'seems to work', and has no real existence.
