As far as mathemtics goes, a number is basically just a metaphysical construct. Any sort of a metaphysical construct is about as real as there is anything in the real world to which it corresponds. Thus integers correspond to God's invention of fingers and toes, rational numbers and fractions correspond to the invention of knives, negative numbers correspond the the invention of the idea of debt, imaginary numbers correspond to solutions of differential equations and the relationships between exponential functions and ordinary sines and cosines etc. etc.

There isn't any sort of mathematics which corresponds to evolutionism. That's basically the realm of pure fiction.

The editors and authors of the "Journal of Evolution Equations" would differ, as would people looking at stochastic differential equations driven by Levy flights.

Thank you for your post, martianagent!

In addition to the ones Doctor Stochastic mentioned, I'd like to offer these two sites so you can investigate the matter as you wish:

Bulletin of Mathematical Biology

UCLA: Biomathematics
