“Can Math Prove God?” A Response to Gavin Ortlund

 {}It's not "Eternal Truths" but the intricacy of it. Just like with ethics, it gets watered down to "Because God says so" this gets watered down to "Because they're objective." It's what they describe, not the fact that they do. Just like the New Testament is objective, we work from its teachings to real world ethics, and how the world actually ought to function.

Like honestly, what you're doing is a teleological fallacy. You're working from the effect to the cause. Work from the cause to the effect, that's much sounder, as it works through Modus Ponen. That's kind of the problem with this watered down theology in modern times, is everything works from "God", like Paul says, "The creation cries out there's a creator" not "The creator cries out there's a creation." We all know there's a creation. And just saying, "Aha! God said, therefore it must be," Even Nehemiah gave the sense of the Law. God doesn't want people who don't fully understand why He set these laws to pass. He wants fully cognizant faith, and understanding. He wants Wisdom.
