"I am not sure why you said “mathematics have been proven wrong time and again” Quite the opposite is true."

Really? Why is it that throughout history so many math equations were proven incorrect? Are you thinking of simple arithmetic? Do your research. Here's a start: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_disproved_mathematical_ideas

Don't trust wikipedia?...try Googling "mathematics proven wrong". There are many examples with much of certain equations built on theorem, which is a synonym for theory:

It's like we argue on this forum that certain scientists believe in anthropogenic global warming. They start with the concept and bias their research to their thesis. They never adjust for lack of Sun Spots or Earthly natural changes in ocean temps or air streams or volcanoes, etc.

Mathematicians do the same thing because they want a conclusion to their hypothesis. Then they write papers that their colleagues accept as logical due to the perceived theorem until someone comes along and creates a new equation that counters the old. Think Einstein and Hawking for recent reference. Even their equations are now in question.

Sheese, there have been countless mathematicians through decades that proved earlier equations wrong. Do I need to research all those mathematicians for you?

Even the renowned astronomer Copernicus used math to build his theory of the Earth orbiting the Sun. However, his math also said the Sun was motionless in space and was the center of the Universe. WRONG.

As I've said earlier, show me a mathematician who can explain the origin of the singularity or even gravity on their white boards. Good luck. Disclaimer: I'm not a religious person and barely a Deist. Have a nice day on our Third Rock from a small Star.

not every math theorem is proven correct... sheesh you would think that math was not a good thing

but the incredible amount of math that provides provable results in the real work totally out-weighs some incorrect things.

You would with the math you know until you get a better equation. Sometimes that takes more than one try, the mistakes made do not disprove the real results.

One may look at hundreds of ideas until you hit the correct one. Look at relativity. Do you argue that the stunningly accurate math for that is no good because Newtonian math that came before it is now not 100% correct?
