“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
I see in this the fallacy of the appeal to awe (as it were). Why should one believe that the thoughts of a deity—should such a being be—are 'higher' than the thoughts of we denizens of the physical world? Indeed, what does this 'higher' even mean? It seems to me to be a roundabout way of saying, "Wow, man, wow!", and not much more than that.
Still, Derbyshire's book, Prime Obsession, is a first-rate piece of popular writing about mathematics. I recommend it, er, highly!
Because the Bible says so (Isaiah 55:9). This matters a great deal to all but four or five ID'ers.
