The proof of God-the dean paradox-of co9lin leslie dean

the dean paradox -of colin leslie dean

science and philosophers use logic to disprove God

but logic is misaligned with reality as the dean paradox shows thus is not a condition of truth

thus logic cannot be used to disprove God

the dean paradox
“Logic insists that between two points lies an infinite set of divisions, making it “impossible” to traverse from start to end. Yet, in practice, the finger does move from the beginning to the end in finite time.”

This contradiction exposes a gap between the abstract constructs of logic and the observable truths of reality

The Dean paradox thus reveals that empiricism rationalism etc , like all philosophical systems dependent on human reasoning (Aristotle Plato Hume Kant Hegel Schopenhauer Nietzsche Wittgenstein Russell Quine science mathematics philosophy ie everyone) is constrained by the inherent flaws of logic, and cannot guarantee a coherent or reliable account of reality

now God/religion in many ways has been destroyed by science and logic the scientists and traditionalists/logic tell you

but the dean paradox show logic is not an epistemic principle or condition of truth thus all scientific attacks and rationalist/logic arguments that there is no God have no value thus they cannot disprove God

thus God reigns again

The dean paradox shows logic is not an epistemic principle or condition thus logic cannot be called upon for authority for any view as it is flawed and broken

The dean paradox doesn’t just question philosophy, mathematics, or science—it kills their authority outright, forcing us into an intellectual void where no structured system holds absolute truth. If Nietzsche’s “God is dead” crisis left us searching for new values, Dean’s paradox leaves us with no way to think— confronting a universe where no stable framework exists at all and leaves God to exist

The Dean Paradox achieves what Nietzsche’s “God is dead” did for theology: it kills the certainty of rational systems, exposing science, math, and philosophy as “painted veils” over an unreachable reality.

but

the price you pay for God to reign is “science is dead “mathematics is dead” “philosophy is dead”

vaccines save lives. Seriously man. All that far out thinking will take you to hell faster than you can say, help me Jesus.

Oh look—another paradox wrapped in a riddle, dipped in postmodern gravy, and served up as a substitute for theology. The “Dean Paradox” tries to sneak God in the back door by saying logic can’t fully describe reality, so therefore… God exists? Cute. But let’s not confuse confusion with conviction.

Let me break it down with the sword of the Spirit and a little sanctified side-eye:

1. “Logic can’t grasp reality” — then why are you using it to make your argument?
If you’re gonna torch logic, don’t stand on its ashes to proclaim your revelation. That’s like sawing off the branch you’re sitting on and calling it flight.

2. God is not the absence of logic—He’s the author of it.
“In the beginning was the Word (Logos), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1).
God doesn’t fear logic. He invented it. The problem isn’t logic—it’s fallen, finite man trying to use logic to climb into heaven without repentance.

3. Zeno’s paradox doesn’t destroy reality—it just reveals the limits of human models.
Reality keeps moving even when philosophers get stuck. Arguing that logic fails because our models don’t match motion is like saying music doesn’t exist because you can’t draw it.

4. Truth isn’t paradoxical; it’s piercing.
“For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword…” (Hebrews 4:12).
God is not some nebulous mystery floating outside coherence. He is truth (John 14:6), not an epistemological escape hatch for folks tired of thinking straight.

Conclusion:
The “Dean Paradox” is just a fancy fig leaf for theological laziness. God doesn’t need us to dismantle reason to find Him—He needs us to repent, believe, and obey. You don’t get to dodge the demands of the gospel by playing philosophical peekaboo.

The cross isn’t a paradox—it’s a proclamation: that holy justice and divine mercy met in one crucified King. That’s not illogical. That’s glorious.

so which is then from the dean paradox

either human logic is fundamentally misaligned with reality, or our perception of reality is an illusion

again if God is logos

then again

Dean’s Paradox and the Dizzying Loop
Dean’s paradox states: “Logic insists that between two points lies an infinite set of divisions, making it ‘impossible’ to traverse from start to end. Yet, in practice, the finger does move from the beginning to the end in finite time.” This creates a dilemma:

  1. Logic is Misaligned with Reality: Logic deems motion impossible, but motion occurs (e.g., a finger moves from A to B), suggesting logic is flawed and reality is “true.”

  2. Reality is an Illusion: If logic is correct, observed motion is illusory, and reality is “false.”

so which is it 1 or 2

Pick your poison, Prasanga—but either way, the antidote isn’t ditching logic, it’s aligning it with the Logos.

If human logic is misaligned with reality, that’s not a flaw in logic—it’s a flaw in fallen man. Romans 1:21 already diagnosed this: “Their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.” The problem isn’t that logic doesn’t work; it’s that we’ve unplugged it from the Source. Try running a GPS with no satellite connection and then blame the map when you end up in a ditch.

If our perception of reality is an illusion, congratulations—you’ve reinvented Gnosticism with a 21st-century flair. But Scripture shreds that notion: “The heavens declare the glory of God” (Psalm 19:1). Reality isn’t an illusion—it’s a revelation. The world isn’t fake news; it’s divine broadcast.

The Dean Paradox wants to nuke the board because some of the pieces don’t behave. But God didn’t hand us chaos—He handed us a creation that runs on His logic. Our logic goes sideways when it runs solo.

You don’t escape the need for truth by making reality a mirage or logic a scapegoat. You just prove what Romans 1 already said: suppress the truth long enough, and you’ll start mistaking the fog for the fire.

Real clarity doesn’t come from abandoning logic—it comes from redeeming it through the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16).

thus by aligning with logos that means reality is an illusion

all history the Old Testament and the New Testament just an illusion not real

“Logic insists that between two points lies an infinite set of divisions, making it ‘impossible’ to traverse from start to end. Yet, in practice, the finger does move from the beginning to the end in finite time.” This creates a dilemma:

  1. Logic is Misaligned with Reality: Logic deems motion impossible, but motion occurs (e.g., a finger moves from A to B), suggesting logic is flawed and reality is “true.”

  2. Reality is an Illusion: If logic is correct, [as you say] observed motion is illusory, and reality is “false.”

Ah, Prasanga, I see we’re back at Zeno’s track meet, where the finger can’t move and logic ties its own shoelaces. Let me help you out of this philosophical hamster wheel.

You say: “Logic says motion is impossible, but motion happens—so either logic is broken or reality is fake.”

Nice try, but that’s not a dilemma. That’s just bad math dressed up as deep thought.

First off, Zeno’s paradox doesn’t disprove logic—it exposes the limits of abstract reasoning divorced from reality.

The problem isn’t logic itself—it’s the misuse of it. Zeno’s argument assumes that space and time are infinitely divisible in the same way numbers are, which is a metaphysical assumption, not a logical law. That’s like saying a map disproves the terrain because it uses pixels.

Motion doesn’t violate logic—it violates Zeno’s flawed premises.

And guess what? The Bible never told us to worship human constructs of logic—it told us to fear the Lord, which is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10). Logic is a tool, not a throne.

Second, aligning with the Logos doesn’t mean reality is an illusion.

It means reality finally makes sense.

The Logos isn’t some gnostic escape hatch. He’s the Word made flesh—flesh, Prasanga. Not pixels. Not a projection. Real blood. Real cross. Real resurrection. You want to call that illusion? Then you’re not arguing with me—you’re arguing with the Incarnation.

“That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life.” (1 John 1:1)

That’s not illusion. That’s testimony.

So here’s your actual dilemma:

  1. Admit your philosophy can’t explain reality without making it vanish.
  2. Or submit to the One who is Reality—and who makes logic, life, and motion all bow to His name.

You don’t need to choose between logic and reality.

You need to repent and believe in the Logos who holds both together.

Zeno is about motion being impossible

Dean is about motion being possible thus the consequence of dean paradox

Now

as shown either your logic is false

or reality is false

you say your logic is true

thus reality is an illusion

when Moses walked across the red sea he crossed [in finite time] an infinity of points which logic says is impossible

but they saw him walk across the Red sea

so when they saw him walk across the red sea that must have been an illusion-as your logic says that it is impossible

thus all the Old and New Testaments and all history and all what you see must be an illusion
all history the Old Testament and the New Testament just an illusion not real

Peace to all,

So true, SincereSeeker, God rescues all from the Bosom of Abraham, spirits only saved, from an incomplete Two nature salvatiion from Animal Sacrifice becoming again throughteh Flesh of the Christ throughteh New Living Sacrifice awaiting in the Center of the Earth are all the souls, angels and saints and martyrs and Old Covenend saved, all awaiting The King, resurrection life from the flesh for all becoming again through the flesh, the Body of God, spirit and life in the Christ becoming again for all mankind in One Holy Spirit Family One God in being.

In all generalization, logic allows understanding of the Mind of God where from finite disciplines through mortal limited intelligence always throw in the towel always saying, How Does God do it? Rationally, fulfilled Heaven and Earth is the fulfilled New Heaven and Earth. Static Eternity unfailing can never be understood until we understand the Logic of the Kingdom of the Divine Will becoming again statically fulfilled unfailing and dynamically fulfilled through two natures through His Passion in both natures, spirit and life, God through Temple, loving only and loving with only the most love undefiled ans unfailing in all cases of the fulfilled faith and morality through the Christ becoming again in One Holy Spirit Family One God in being fulfilled in One Two Nature Body. The logic of the Kingdom of the Divine Will is the Will of The Father, the intelligence of the “Sophia” and the Entire Wisdom of the Holy Spirit Family compiled in one undefiled infallible logical intelligence through both natures from the spirit through the created souls of all for the flesh, The Body to become again One Holy Family in being.

Logically the Powers of *Omniscience: This refers to the state of knowing everything, often attributed to a divine being.

  • Wisdom: This emphasizes deep understanding and insight, intrinsic through preexisting uncreated experience, and associated with profound unfailing knowledge.
  • Enlightenment: This suggests a state of perfect undefiled understanding and freedom to choose from ignorance or failed choice becoming fulfilled eternal love loving only and loving with only the most love causing through Holy Spirit manifestation undefiled logical intelligence unfailing in all cases becoming again in all from the Word becomes flesh through the Christ to One Reimaged immortal and incorruptible Body in One Holy Family One God in being.
  • Sophia: A Greek term often used to refer to wisdom, especially divine wisdom.

Peace always,
Stephen
