I suppose that depends on how you define "logic." If "logic" refers to the process of coming to a conclusion based on the given premises, many fundamentalists do that. One of their axioms, however, is that the Bible� (or other sacred writings: there are fundamentalists other than Christian) is literally true, so any time information from another source disagrees with the Bible�, that information must be false. _____ �To be accurate, their particular interpretation of the Bible. There are numerous self-proclaimed "fundamentalist" Christian groups, all of which say they view the Bible as literally true, but that doesn't seem to prevent them from disagreeing on various points of doctrine. Some of them don't even agree on which books to include in the Bible. -- Ronn! :) God bless America, Land that I love! Stand beside her, and guide her Thru the night with a light from above.
