Just because you can't solve something logically it doesn't mean it's wrong.
To use an analogy: Logic would say that a particle will act the same way if it's observed as if it isn't. Yet the double slit experiment shows us that particles act differently when something is watching them, unobserved they act as waves, and observed they act as particles. In fact the entire quantum world, where all possible outcomes of an event exist in superposition, defies logic. Does that mean it doesn't exist? Of course not, we know it does.
To cast something aside because it's not logical is short sighted.
Logic cannot be applied to everything, religion is one of the many things that defies logic because it has to. Any deity worth it's salt will ensure that their religion is as illogical as possible, because they don't want it to be proven because they want followers of faith. There's nothing special about following something that has been proven.
