Mathematics as modelling language tends to be a flawed and inadequate representation of many (if not most) natural principles.

That doesn't make any sense. Give me an example of the inadequacy of mathematics. People using math badly is par for the course but doesn't reflect any flaws in the mathematics itself.

Somebody do the math. Isaiah, says years before the Jews were even in slavery, that they would be in bondage, how many years they would be in bondage, and the name Cyrus was declared as the Persian king that would let them go. Isaiah even went so far as to challenge the readers if their gods could do that. He was mocking them. Shows God has a sense of humor. How many carved sticks can do that. One might predict a government will fall(as some have about America), but how many can name the name of the person to revive it, before that person is even born?
