I don't know that I accept this argument. You're saying that because there are slight inconsistencies that we have to reconcile, math can't possibly given to us from God? Has God never handed anything to humans that had slight inconsistencies in it?
- Dylan16807 13y agoI... okay, but you're not really responding to the intent of the message which was saying that math isn't a bastion of purity and fundamentally and wholly right and perfectly designed. And if math had been handed down it would all be in an old holy book, which it clearly isn't.
- azinman2 13y agoExactly. God here is representative of some singular fundamental truth about the universe, assuming such a thing even exists. And math wasn't created in such a fashion. Math was designed by humans to be useful, which it very much is. But ultimately it's just a system we made up, and then kept building on top of ad infinitum. Just go exploring into the topology branch of math (one example of many) just to see how remote from what you see around you math can get.
