# Logical Consistency **Logical consistency** means that a set of statements or beliefs contains no contradictions—you can't derive both a claim and its opposite from them. For example, "All dogs are mammals" and "Fido is a dog who is not a mammal" are logically inconsistent. ## Common Misconception Many people believe that **consistency equals truth**. However, a set of beliefs can be perfectly consistent yet completely false. For example, these statements are mutually consistent: - "The Earth is flat" - "NASA photos are fabricated" - "Gravity doesn't exist; density explains falling objects" They don't contradict each other, but they're still false. Consistency is necessary for a rational worldview, but it doesn't guarantee your beliefs match reality—you also need evidence and sound reasoning.
