Subject: So...what is your theory? |
Bible Note: [Quote form LionStrong]The basis of math is logic. The basis of logic is the logical/resonable mind of the Triune God of the Bible in whose image we are created. Atheism, for example, gives no adequate basis for math. Since man is the chance product of the impersonal-plus-time-plus-chance evolutionary processes, his logic is a product of chance. Man has evolved to think, and to think the way he thinks, and to think that he's really thinking! He could have evolved differently. He therefore has no reason to believe that the evolutionary processes would not have evolved a different logic where two plus two equals five. In contras to this, God reveals himself in Scripture as eternal and immutable. Therefore reason and logic are eternal and immutable in God in whose image we are created. Therefore math is not an evolutionary illusion. Peace, ******END QUOTE***************** I'm sorry LionStrong but I'm not really sure what it is that you are saying, I can interpret what you have said several different ways. One, it sounds like you are saying God has reason and logic, which is eternal, and since God created man in his image that we too have reason and logic which comes from God. If this is the case then are you saying God willed me the "ZERO" theory? Two, I have no idea what you are saying about the atheist. It seems like you are saying they think they can think because of evolution or chance when in reality it is not really them thinking at all??? Let me make a simple point: It was you, LionStrong, who said "mathematics does not work without the number 0".(I will add: at least not functionally) This is my case and point, man does not function properly without God. What I find intersting about this forum is that there are many people who seem to be offended by the "ZERO" theory even though they know very little about it. I actually thought it would be something people would embrace and try to learn more about rather then judge and condemn before they even know anything about it. |
