Is math the science of God?

Question

just hear me out, ok? math explains things even if we cannot see them or even if we don't have the technology to empirically test/support theories. if the math works out in the most complex of situations, we can be very confident that we are right...we knew the thrust and angle and all that good stuff that we needed to send satellites (and later dogs, monkeys and eventually people) into space b/c the equations told us the answers and it worked. why can math explain the universe so precisely? it is more than theory it is TRUTH. your thoughts?

Answer 1

Maths explains the universe because it's worked out using the universe. Formulas are calculated by examining the universe and making calculations. If we find something that doesn't fit the formula, the formula is adjusted to meet that anomoly (e.g. special theory of relativity).

The formulas we have to work out thrust and angle work because we have measured the universe and calculated those formulas.

Most mathmatics was derived from examining the universe, so of course it fits the universe.

Answer 2

I have always felt as though the universe is a great creation where everything is in balance. In order for that balance to be maintained there has to be a mathematical process in play. Sure God must make adjustments to maintain order and equilibrium but this is a great mathematical equation. The deist believes God created the universe and walked away; therefore it must be in perfectly balanced like a simple equation: 2 + 2=4 both sides are equal. Unlike the deist I believe God plays an active role and maintains his relationship with nature and man to recalculate the balance of the equation that is thrown off by his living creations that are imperfect.

Answer 3

Very philosophical indeed. Math literally is logic...Traditionally, logic is studied as a branch of philosophy, one part of the classical trivium, which consisted of grammar, logic, and rhetoric. Since the mid-nineteenth century logic has also been commonly studied in mathematics. More recently logic has been applied to computer science. The parts that make up a computer chip are often called "logic gates."

Religion on the otherhand is faith. A belief system; A theory...

Answer 4

the short answer: yep.
Biblical numerology is a very interesting study. The Bible, when read with understanding will show you just how much God uses Mathmatics - it was used when creating the universe.
Science and Math are two of the greatest creations of God.
You will never, ever find a controversy between true science and Gods Word, unless a person reads the Bible without understanding. Otherwise, it fits like a perfect glove. guaranteed.

Answer 5

I agree! It is the attempt to find perfection in explanations, and is totally universal in it's logic. It was why the religious people didn't like Issac Newton, he did not allow for miracles or mysteries. He explained everything based on mathematics and basic physics, and the religious people threw a fit. He answered back, "I do not engage in hypothesis, what I have said, I have proved". Even his worst critics had to agree with that.

Answer 6

i'm overjoyed to take heed to you like math. it is actual a easy to our minds and the queen of the sciences for human beings. yet to whether this is the technological information of God, the terrific we can say is that some thing analogous to our math could be significant to God. although, God is so very a techniques above us, it is in comparison to comparing a time-honored grader to a 12th grader or maybe a math professor. because of the fact God has countless and absolute attributes and entire mastery of what those mean....while we are limited and finite... it could be greater powerful to think of of say a million,2 hundred,000 grade stages. on the midsection of all issues there are beings (alongside with from planets which contain ours) who understand the maths innovations of that grade point. Even those on no account come on the component of equaling God, being non-countless beings, non-absolute beings. although this is a danger to pass beyond finite stages. greater might properly be communicated in a million/2 hour interior the heaven of heavens than we can communicate in 10,000 years right here. that's what people who comprehend say, beings of beginning from there. maybe God felt somewhat sorry for growing to be finite, imperfect beings who might desire to upward thrust to, aspire to, perfection. So, He desperate to accompany us, in spirit, in this holiday that helps us to cocreate our very own destinies. and maybe He gave us math so we could be beneficial of a few thing alongside the way. Or particularly beneficial? on no account so beneficial as to end asking questions although.

Answer 7

Interesting concept. However, (no i'm not an athiest, but I grew being influenced from several religions). Math is a universal science, however, it is not theory. It is truth. and unlike God. God is faith, and God is not fact (nor fiction). Math can be proved to be factual, although it can prove things theoretically that haven't been done, but it has been proven by factual items in the past. you have one apple, add another apple..you have two. You see the two apples..then you don't see them and theoretically you don't need them to see anymore than adding one of the same thing to another thing of the same thing..equals two of the same thing...it's not theory it's fact proven by past experience. God however, has no proof of existence (i'm not debating God's existence), because the Bible was written by man and it's documentation cannot be proven to be factual. To believe in Math is to believe in science and fact, to believe in God is to have Faith.
p.s. Theoretically God would have us believe in the Genesis story in the bible...God created man and the world after 7 days. Math would more follow the evolution, because evolution makes more mathematical sense.

Answer 8

that was actually a popular idea a couple hundred years ago, with people like Isaac Newton and Johannes Kepler. They saw the intricate math of the planetary motions as the 'language of god'.

Answer 9

That is the opinion of many scientists.

The booklet Scientist and God (available free from [e-mail]) quotes 90 scientists, many of whom see a link in math.

I'm not a heavy in math. But I see a link in logic.

Answer 10

Math isn't a science.

I have heard the expression that Math is the language of god.

Holding no belief in a god, I have no opinion on that statement. It's definitely the language of science.
