Every philosophical concept will have a counterexample, which it cannot account for. It is, I believe, fundamental to thinking itself. It is my conjecture to say that one can find an argument against anything, that 1 + 1 = 2 is not safe, that one can disbelieve even that he exists. But too, I believe that not all of these counterarguments make of what they contest a heap of illogic. For sometimes, these contraries miss the point of what they try to disprove, and that one might to fruition look for a counterargument to the counterargument — though that may prove somewhat more difficult. It is not that logic itself is flawed, that these things happen, merely that possibility is so rich. To even all of God’s theories, it may be, the Devil has counterexamples, but I believe He lets the argument rest — not the best way to spend eternity, I think, playing only on how things appear.
