> You obviously believe that the laws of logic exist, how do you account for them in your worldview? Borrowing logic from MY worldview, to argue against MY worldview hardly makes sense now does it?

This is how a logical argument works! The very fact that you somehow think there is something strange about this only shows how unfamiliar you are with the whole field! This is why I am requesting you actually try and learn something about it. Take some classes in philosophy and logic, or at the very least read some books on the subject.

A logical argument consists of a set of assumptions, and a set of derivations from these assumptions. To refute such an argument, you do or more of:

  • Refute the assumptions.
  • Show that the assumptions are contradictory.
  • Show that the derivations from the assumptions are faulty.

You seem to think that only the first is valid, which is entirely untrue. We have been mostly arguing using the last two.
