Well, that puts a curve in the works.

Mathematics is the study of scaling. How to get from one to infinity, and all that that implies.
Numbers can’t be numbered.
These aren’t new arguments. He is making what is generally referred to as the transcendentalist apologetic argument for the existence of God. Generally, the rules of logic are used rather than math but either will work because fundamentally the two are the same thing. A deep, but very interesting, subject to jump into. I’ve heard more than a few atheists get chewed up by taking on the transcendentalist argument in radio shows.
Mathematics is the foundation of science, the one thing that binds all branches of it.
Wow, what a coincidence! Just this past Monday night me and my homies were in a bar watching the Lions on Monday night football and discussing this very subject........
Dennis Prager interviewed him on his radio program within the last couple of weeks and it was a quite interesting piece. The book is on my Amazon wish list for later purchase!
FReepin’ mathematics thread ping. (its been a while).
Curved space-time! This is not a nit pick. Newtonian gravitation is recovered from Einstein's Equation by consideration of the largest term, which couples a flat space with linear time.
You know even Michio Kaku makes this error, and I know he knows better, in his TV presentation. He mentions spacetime but then reverts to the "curved space" language, which is very misleading.
Thanks for posting this.
I majored in operations research (a kind of math) at the graduate level and would say that math has always been there...waiting for man to discover it.
There is an equation for everything and every movement...just sitting there...waiting
The question is...who developed it and the reality on which it is based.
Math is not man created...it is man discovered, God created.
One would have to be blind to miss that point.
Discovering the intricacy of math is like discovering a library in a log cabin atop Mt. Everest. One cannot simply conclude that the cabin and library simply evolved.
Someone had to put it there.
The beauty of mathematics is profound proof of God. It is like a magnificent machine discovered on a distant planet.
Such things don't just evolve. They are created.

I know it’s Berkeley but here is a link to his classroom lectures for Multivariable Calculus from Fall 2009. Just in case someone wants a supplementary study aid. They’ll probably fire him if they find out he was on Prager.
When God created this universe He set up the laws of physics and math and gravity and energy and mass etc etc etc. These laws will remain in effect until He ends this universe and creates our new world.
