“Hebrews 6:18 says that it is impossible for God to lie. ”

---Ronald Brooks. “Come, Let Us Reason.”



Here's another quote about the relationship between natural sciences and logic:

“There is a big difference between the laws of nature and the laws of logic. Natural law is really only a description of how things normally do operate; but laws of logic are more like ethical laws that tell us how our minds should operate, even if that is not the way we always think. Natural laws deal with the way things are; logical laws deal with the way things ought to be. In this sense, logical laws are prescriptive, calling for our obedience, since we ought to think logically. But natural laws are only descriptive and make no such demand. Also, logic flows from God’s rational nature, and he cannot change his nature. ”
