Did God also create arithmatic? That's another set of universal, abstract, invariant laws. I like the idea of the big ol' guy in the sky saying "Let two plus two equal four," way back when.

Anyway, I say that logic is a human abstraction (reapplied to abstract phenomena) of the universal, invariant laws of cause & effect, which were formulated by observing the natural world and which are accounted for in any physics textbook.

But maybe God created the natural world? That's cool with me; I'm a deist! Alternately, we could just be honest and admit we don't know the origin of nature or the universe, which doesn't seem to help your position any. The known (or rather, the proposed) is not inherently more probable then the unknown.
