Argument Through Number

It’s not “Things are real, therefore God exists.” Neither is it “God says this is good, therefore He exists.”

So, the reason we know God exists from Mathematics, isn’t because they’re real, but because they’re so intricate, and so complex, but also impossible to have not been designed. Like, study Euclid for a few days, you’ll understand the argument from Math a lot better than abstractions about Algebra.

Like, why do these things work this way? Why does a number used for Cosine or Sine shape an exact formula for a triangle? Always? Why does tangent get you to a singular point? Why? Why does calculus work? But we know it does… and that’s a lot like faith, actually. Calculus is a leap of faith. We know the answer—because we study the pattern—but obviously you can’t reach the limit without division. Even division is a leap of faith. There’s no way to divide, beside through trial and error, and simply understanding the answer. Unlike Subtraction, Multiplication and Addition, Division’s the only one where you have to make a leap to the answer. And that’s also why I think some Biblical phrases talk about “Dividing” the truth.

But you understand through that that there’s a design in the fabric of the universe. It’s not “It’s real, therefore we know.” It’s “Wow, that looks designed.”
