[quote]Assalamu alaikkum.

May be we are confusing the terms, and consequently, the concepts.
If you say that praying the way we pray (positions) has its "logic" because these movements are good for the circulation of the blood... Brother, I am sorry... If I need some excercise I will work out a little bit or go hiking this Sunday... 
Now, if more seriously, we talk about logic as an inappropriate synonym of Divine wisdom, I will affirm that everything that Allah the Almighty has created, all the laws, all the commandments, and all the mysteries, are governed and directed, and guided by His Will, and EVERYTHING that comes from Him is good and has a purpose (not bad things that comes from human bad choices).
Yes, some concepts were ignored many years, and now science is finding a reason for it. Even the Prophet (SAW) didn't know. And so do we, because there is going to be always a mystery that human mind cannot understand.
The Revelation of the Qur'an and the message of Islam is not based in logic, but based on Allah's wisdom.
Again, yes, I can say that what Allah commands to do is not arbitrary. It has a purpose. But as far as I was taught so far, we cannot claim we know why, but only say that is commanded and consequenly, good for us. Is there any reason we can find for doing something? Alhamdulillah! is not a reason to be proud of, is because Allah wanted us to know.
Example: There are good reasons to say that we pray five times a day, and it has its reason or its "logic". I agree.
But it could be six times and still have its "logic" and reason.
I hope anyone can correct if I say something wrong.
Peace
