Quite the contrary. We make thousands and thousands of assumptions during our day, and most of them are founded on logic. For example, when I bite into a banana, I assume that it's not going to be crunchy. This is an assumption; I have no way of disproving the idea that someone has secretly created a crunchy species of banana and slipped me one. But based on my past experiences and the extreme unlikelihood of the alternatives, I'm going to assume that any banana I bite into is going to be soft.

When I talk to my mother, I assume it's really my mother. I have no way of disproving the idea that she was abducted by aliens and replaced with a robot that looks and acts exactly like her, while in reality she is being held in Area 51 for experimentation. But I assume it's really her, and it's a logical assumption, since any alternative explanation of why there is a being that looks and acts like my mother is so unlikely that it would need substantial evidence to back it up if anybody is going to take it seriously.
logic is illogical if it is based on ASSUMING something doesnt exist because you dont have proof.
So it's completely illogical to assume that there is no colony of turtles living at the center of the earth? I bet you assume that there is no such colony of turtles, but I bet you don't have any proof that the colony of turtles is not there.
logic is illogical by being based on assumptions and perceptions.
Logic is illogical? That's like saying red is green, or up is down. It doesn't make any sense to say logic is illogical. Assumptions and perceptions are all we have to go on in this world. We are given sensory input, and we have to figure out how the world works to the best of our knowledge. This is done by observing the given evidence and coming up with theories (models of how the world works) that explain the evidence in the most plausible way. Inventing beings and saying they have to exist just because nobody has proven that they don't exist doesn't get us anywhere.
maybe emotional logic is even more redundant, but at least im going with my gut. it just seems more logical to go with instinct over "logic".
Huh? How is it "more logical" to choose intuition over logic? That's less logical and more intuitional. Less logic = less logical. More logic = more logical. Please try to pay attention to the language we've all agreed upon.
