This is merely an experimental argument.

My Argument is that we must presuppose the existence of God as an objective standard of knowledge in order to justify true knowledge, because only something like God (a perfect and eternal unchanging being that eternally wills it’s own nature) can guarantee that something is always true or that something is always false; otherwise nothing is necessarily true and our ability to truly know anything fails. Also God as i have defined, is the only being that can guarantee that the laws of physics will stay true, otherwise we have no justification not to think that the laws of physics won’t vanish at any second.

What say ye?

Playing devils advocate here.

Did Socrates presuppose God? Was truth an objective reality to Socrates?

The laws of physics are a proof of God? What if we discover some other source of their stability and reason they seem friendly to life?
 
I agree with you. It’s also why Christian Europe was the leading scientific powerhouse.

The belief in a logical, ordered, truthful God implied a logical and ordered world.

Pagans attributed deity status to mere trees and animals and their gods were arbitrary and petty. Reasoned scientific methods could not be extracted from such beliefs.
