Who made it?
Does it just 'exist' without someone to present it as an idea?
Are you idolizing logic and reasoning as Gods?
It's really starting to sound like it.

Are you suggesting "someone" or "something" had to have CREATED logic?
---------------------------------
Kinda.
The first philosophers brought about the if-then statements and reasoning to reach a conclusion and other things

Doug, I kinda like you and sometimes your answers are clever and interesting but sometimes you sound like you are on crack.

Yeah...my questions are questionable sometimes. I have my flaws :-)

Is 1+1=2 man made?
Is the concept of addition man made? If mankind did not exist and one apple fell from a tree, then another fell, would not two still have fallen?
Logic wasn't "made" at all. It is an ephemeral concept. It does not 'exist' in the sense of being a thing. You're trying to treat it like a Platonic Ideal. It is not.

There are different forms of logic. Pure logic has its origin in the mind of the Creator. Human logic is not better than religion because human logic is a form of religion where human reasoning is reverenced somewhat like a god. Human logic does not always work and cannot be applied to anything that supersedes its boundaries such as God. If one accepts God's premise of sin to be true, then the human mind is flawed and consequently human reasoning apart from God's guidance will be misleading. Here is a good example. MORSE CODE = invented by Samuel F.B. Morse DNA CODE = invented by time and chance (human logic) The logic of the Bible is of a higher order. True Christians have an appreciation for this simple fact. Those who regard the Bible as not based upon logic are blinded by the flawed reasoning which that very same Bible points out. Within the Bible are revealed principles and laws governing physiology and anatomy, psychological development, sociology, behavioral development, moral excellence and much, much more. The prejudice of an inherently sinful mind is insufficient however to discern these things. Show N Tell

Unfortunately, this is probably a circular argument. For example, if everything is not random, then there must be a God that made things, but God is not random then, and, then, by the same logic, someone must have made God. So that then must be God's God, but then that God would have to be not random, so someone must have created God's God, which means God's God must have a God and so forth and so on ad nauseum.
That's why I decided to start calling myself an agnostic. Neither science nor religion really explains why we exist, so I decided to just accept that we don't know and move on with my life.

Logic and its cousin math are intuitive. They aren't man made, they're evolution made. A group of chimpanzees can figure out how to reach an out-of-reach banana by stacking boxes on each other -- that's a logical behavior, and it doesn't take an extraordinary feat of imagination to understand how that could biologically develop.

Why are you attacking logic? Do you not like it because it is hurting christian religion? Do you not realize that the computer you are using to put this stuff on here is the result of logic?
Really, attacking logic by flaunting the complete lack of logic is not a great strategy.

Many things exist without having to be presented as ideas. They just are.
If all Xs are Ys and all Ys are Zs then all Xs are Zs
I didn't have to make that up. It just is.

No, monkeys can use reason, nearly all animal phylas can use reason, it is evolutionarily necessity to survive. As we pass on our genes, our brain becomes more complex through generations as a way of survival.
Please, I'm not asking you to take a biology class, just learn some basic concepts.
