Actually the definition you’re using is military jargon. The general definition of logistic is simply ‘symbolic logical.’ Anything from mathematics to poetry could be described as logistics. The Bible is a form of logistics as well, since it also, in many pages, employs symbolic logic. And the quote is not a criticism of the Bible, but rather it is depicting, as in many other sense, River’s inability to understand the more abstract concepts of human nature, despite her genius intellect. In this case, the abstraction is faith and belief in something larger then one’s own self, as in the revelation in Star Trek:MP:

The thing I was pointing out was that the term "logistics" is very rarely used in common speech referring to logic or logical arguments--it's almost always a referrence to, well, that stuff in the definition up there. Hence, while River means logic (which I understand), my brain always flashes back to the other definition and I visualize Moses handing out MREs or somesuch.
