Has any one read these anti-mathematics anti-science books. I found them on a yahoo answers . I downloaded some-they are free- THey argue that all mathematics and science is meaningless becuase they collapse into self contradiction and are full of paradozx that makes them meaningless. The mystery is how they work when logically they are meaninlngless/self-contradictory

Well... I hadn't read them before. And the first couple of pages states that the purpose of maths/science "is to provide a logical model capable of over-coming a contradiction."

Which certainly isn't why I studied maths.

The next couple of pages mentions the 'twins paradox' as ... well... a paradox. Which it isn't. Its a fact of life. Its been demonstrated and observed.

I gave up at that point... I doubt the rest of the 'book' makes much more sense...

those arguments tutor basically the meaninglessness of that philosophy itself. it is an occasion of the applying of a classical device of logic, help to absurdity. shop on with a premise to its logical end. If that end is absurd, the basis is in all probability incorrect. some say that what I word and contact certainty isn't certainty, yet fairly is largely a fictional creation of my techniques. certainly, i won't be able to tutor or disprove that. yet whilst it is actual, who created my techniques and gave it this outstanding ability? actual meaning is that God created the universe and each thing in it, and that there is absolute certainty. in case you refuse to even evaluate this as certainty, then you definately are ruling out the respond even until now you ask the question, and your outcomes are probable to be meaningless and absurd.

And the books are written based on philosophy and Buddist points of views? I'm probably going to skip this for now. Interesting though. Might scan it later today.
