Though it is logical truths and empty space that could not not exist, and nothing besides them, it is logical truths and the uncaused cause that are most important. Empty space cannot create anything and is only a dimension that can hold matter. It is not the necessary truths that cannot be false no matter what, requiring that they exist in the absence of all else, or the entity that sparked the causal chain and potentially has a moral nature that all other beings must act in accordance with. Empty space is, in a sense, woefully trivial by comparison, despite its necessary existence (of a secondary kind, for it still depends on logic being independently and intrinsically true for its own) that would remain even if God ceased to exist.
However, only the inherent truths of logic and the existence of one's own consciousness are epistemologically self-evident, unlike the uncaused cause and even the empty space that would have to exist in the absence of God and matter. That is, to doubt or disbelieve or actively reject them still relies on them. One cannot be confused or in denial about one's own existence or even wonder about the issue without already existing to engage in such reflection. To reject reason in any way relies directly or indirectly on some alleged logical reason why logic is false, which would itself still require that logic is not false. Thus, it cannot be false no matter what, whatever the supposed reason for its untruth or irrelevance.
The laws of logic have various things in common with other central metaphysical existents. Logic and empty space are uncaused, along with the uncaused cause, and they alone would have to exist even if God did not. Logic and the uncaused cause, God (not that this necessitates that it is the Christian God), are of ultimate significance. Logic and my own consciousness are self-evident, however, though even realizing this about one's own conscious existence hinges on logical necessity. This very narrow but vital epistemological category is what absolute certainty starts with. What cannot be false because its falsity requires its veracity cannot be uncertain for anyone who makes no assumptions. Of course, the laws of logic are metaphysically necessary, and my conscious existence is not; the latter is just metaphysically necessary as long as I am experiencing anything at all. It is always true with or without the natural world or any mind to grasp logic that one thing does or does not follow by necessity from another, and if this was false, it would logically follow from the nature of reality that reason is false.
Out of reason and my own mind, only one of them could not have been any other way—reality could have been so that I never existed, or so that I was some other person or not even a human, yet the laws of logic are inherently true. The absence of their truth inherently involves them still being true to make it so, rendering such things impossible. Metaphysically necessary, immutable, omnipresent, and the supreme existent on which all else stands, even the divine being itself, the laws of logic are not the mind's grasp of reason (the intellect) or a created thing from any source. They are truth itself and ground the possibility of all contingent things, for nothing could exist or be true which contradicts that which cannot be false. Logic makes other things true, such as the fact that the universe cannot have life and not have life at the same time or that God cannot render logical axioms or other necessary truths untrue.
