Good post Bryan. I agree mostly, though there surely is a difference between "has been proven/unproven" v. "can be proven/unproven."
"it may simply be that we, as creatures with finite senses, with finite understanding, with finite knowledge, cannot comprehend the true logic and thus, have developed our own finite logic to make sense of our world. this doesn't mean that what is not logical cannot exist or that which is logical must exist." I agree, though I question the phrase "the true logic" since it implies a higher logic as opposed to a simpler series of forces.
on a side note- When you said flatland, the first thing I thought of was a story by Larry Nivven. Flatlanders are people from at the bottom of a gravity well (like earth) while Spacers lived most of their lives in freefall. see Tales of Known Space.
