And Einstein even more so: "the series of integers is obviously an invention of the human mind, a self-created tool which simplifies the ordering of certain sensory experiences."

Great quotes, especially Kronecker.
Perhaps Laplace was right after all: "I had no need for that hypothesis."
But the other guy just said "God made the integers." Why did he say that? Is there a difference in the two data sets the two are needing explained, or is there a contradiction between their respective hypotheses -- was Laplace trying to explain the mathematical order (it's an honest question; I'm not trained in science)?.
