yes...human logic and reason seems constantly to be changing with new discoveries
God's logic is sure, however, and can be trusted because he knows the end from the beginning and I believe that believing and trusting in God is the most logical thing a human can do

There has been some change, as new methods of analysis have been developed; predicate calculus is one such, and I have cribbed some ideas from that to use in my forthcoming textbook on the subject. But it is necessary to be careful -- don't confuse logic with evidence. The supposition that the earth was flat was based not on logic, but on the inferior evidence that was available at the time. Once people understood that a lunar eclipse was the earth's shadow on the moon, and saw that the shadow was round, the notion of a flat earth could no longer be maintained.

Logic is just the way the facts at hand link together. A critical lack of facts (flat earth theory) doesn't constitute a greater or lesser logic, just less data from which to draw. Likewise, our logical view of the universe will continue to change as we continue to acquire more data.
The most practical approach to such a dynamic state of existance is to simply not assume that just because something's logical, it's true.
If we open our eyes to the absurd in light of the ever-growing scope of raw data, at least some portion of the absurd will become logical. Therein lies the coexistant nature of science and religion; the wisest scientist and the wisest priest are people who understand that nobody has ALL the answers.

No, the definition if logic hasn't really changed.
Your argument is flawed; it assumes that "interesting findings in Quantum mechanics" are illogical, which is not true. They may seem illogical, but that is only viewed with the incorrect paradigm (or theory).
For example, if one assumed that the earth was flat, then the way objects disappear on the horizon might seem illogical. However, this phenomenon is completely explained by the theory that the earth is round.
Also note that the physical facts (findings in Quantum Mechanics or objects disappearing on the horizon) never change in either case; it is only our understanding of the facts that changes. It is impossible for a physical fact to be illogical (by definition).

it's a floating signifier, a signifier is basically an object that is associated with a concept. Take a "pen" for example, the word "pen" is a signifier, it signifies the concept of the stick thingie that people use to write with. A floating signifier is a signifier that shifts constantly. Like the concept of race, back in the OOOOLD days, it is believed that there is superiority in one's race, although it isn't as 95% of differences in genetic structure is between 2 people of the "same race".
Logic is based on tradition, it is a flow of what we know and how we interpret things. Therefore as time changes, "logic" will change, "common sense" will change as something may not be "common" anymore. Take for example, if you get someone born in a country that had serfs in the dark ages, and you ask them how do you sow the land, they may not know. But in the dark ages, all serfs knew how to plant.

im pretty sure its constant....but im not sure.
i dont think its like morals where your perspective guides your morals.
logic and reasoning tend to rely on your ability to deduct situations...basically....intelligence.
obviously if the idea that everything requires a creator EXCEPT god is 100% logical to you then obviously you lack intellience.
if you can see that god himself WOULD require a creator (as he is part of EVERYTING) then i think youre ok in the intelligence department.
its a bit complicated and i dont think im the most qualified person to speak on it.
justg my $0.02
thats a good question.
