The Logic of Love

Part IV: Recognizing the Possibilities

At this point we have covered the ground necessary to show that the concept of God is not inconsistent with the conditions of this world and that the existence of God is plausible. The next step is to compare atheism, agnosticism, and theism (the “gnostic paradigms”) as three internally consistent but mutually exclusive paradigms. We will start with an analogy between the gnostic paradigms and the three geometric models for mapping three-dimensional space. No previous understanding of these geometric models is necessary, and what needs to be explained is easily understood! The first chapter in Part IV explains everything you need to know about the geometric models for the purpose of comparing them to the gnostic paradigms. The second chapter in Part IV compares choosing a geometric model for a particular application with selecting between which gnostic paradigm we will apply to our daily lives.
