On a side note, the ancient Greek philosophers believed Mathematics was the language of the Gods. There were a bunch of mathematicians who formed the Pythagorean sect which was similar to a religion. They even punished those who preached the irrational numbers becuase irrational numbers were seen as "evil" because they defied the geometrical properties of triangles [0]. So in a way mathematics and science in general is the path to enlightement, to undestanding of the natural world.
