Philosophy and Logic

As I stated before logic is a tool used by man not a game. In fact, logic is an exact science.

Some see logic as different for all people because I can say this plus this equals this and you can say this plus this equals elephant. But that is just not what logic is. While it is true that we give meaning to everything by giving names and uses and such, that only proves that using logic to prove meaning is useless without the complete knowledge of the thought pattern of the other individual. While we can say that the differences in our thinking means logic is not exact, people seem to forget the arguement for Determinism. This is a brief description of Determinism I found on Wikipedia
"Determinism is the philosophical proposition that every event, including human cognition and behavior, decision and action, is causally determined by an unbroken chain of prior occurrences. Determinism may also be defined as the thesis that there is at any instant exactly one physically possible future"

So basically that is the logical arguement for everything happens for a reason. It is an inference because everything that exists physically has only been observed as existing and acting due to cause and effect and never because of literally nothing(even existing because of nothing is a cause as being nothing would be the cause, or some other arrangement.) Determinists have given the proof of the validity of it's arguement and therefor disproves the idea of human freewill. While we all feel that we have freewill and the ability to manipulate our universe with some sort of force outside of the physical realm. But as Determinism proves that there is always only one outcome possible, we are always just choosing what we were always going to choose. Our minds are just electrical pulses and other such complex events occuring in our brain. And as all the things in our brain exist on the physical realm they are also bound to the laws of nature. And as I stated in my previous article concerning the laws of nature, nothing is able to do break the laws of nature. And if our mind is made of physical objects why would these objects be treated any differently if it were in our head than the other objects of the same composition outside of our head?
Logic just tells us what IS not what we give meaning to what is. We describe what is by giving it meaning but what is does not change with the meanings we give it, therefor logic is an exact science with only one answer to what is.

I ask you to prove me wrong or show where my logic is false. until then my logic is sound and so is my argument.

please comment your opinions
