Frank -
Formal logic is not a god but exists independently of nervous systems.

A -> B   <->   -B -> -A

But is it *relevant* to anything independent of (central?) nervous systems?

I know this isn't precisely what you meant, but I would suggest that formal logic and gods have more in common than not, being both artifacts *of* special kinds of symbols and transformation systems for them.  I don't know that molluscs (even cephalapods) have formal logics nor gods (though they may well be capable of some kind of arcane modeling and prediction that is in some sense equally powerful/useful/interesting).

PS.  I liked EricCs reformulation of the scenario, it fit well how *I* parsed and sorted things out.
