No problem my friend. That's a nasty and sticky subject anyay.
People deal with physical reality and device mathematical models for analyzing it, predicting future behavior and hopefully controlling it. Logic is just a way to organize thinking and infere from what has been demonstrated, or proven otherwise, to what holds as a physical law.
People very often device theories based on premises that cannot be proved. The results of these theories may sometimes come close to reality but the basic syllogism may be wrong in the first place. In that respect and use, logic has nothing to do with physical reality. It does when its use and conclusions are in line with reality. From assumptions to conclusions.

Human knowledge and cognition is not in any way limited to using only abstract logic or mathematical models of reality.
The use of logic and complex mathermatical concepts is the language of a scientific elite, who is practicing physical theories far away from daily reality, and most of the time for no practical purpose whatsoever.
For most lay people, the non-scientifical interested public who have to pay their tax money for this scientific eclicism, this is not very comprehensible. Their speculative theoretical models, which can portray about anything, and even the most absurd things come into the picture, don't have much meaning, and do not realy contribute much to human understanding and perhaps invoke more confusion.
From our very material origin of our mind, it is understandable that, although there is no limit as to applications of scientific knowledge, in the sense of being able to live as a human and enhance the human society with the products of practical science, there will never be an all encompassing knowledge about everything in reality, so the absolute truth will never be available for humans, but there is no limit on finding relative truth.
