Could God change the fact that 1+1=2?

Question

and if god cant, then is he no longer 'all-powerful', seeings how he lacks the power change conceptual facts, finiteing his infinite power?

also, if nothing existed, would 1+1 still equal two?


actual argument that i had with someone, it was never settled.

to one 'grayfarie' :

conceptual, not physical, conceptual. the mathamatical idea that one 'thing' plus another 'thing' equals two 'things'.

Answer 1

IF you want a real answer accept this reality:

1 + 1 will always equal 2 no matter who/what/when/where/whatever says otherwise. One of something and then another of that something together equals two of it.

To be 100% sure of the answer of this would mean you need to accept this condition:

God, cannot change 1+1 equaling 2 because god is actually an event which set into motion the chain reaction which lead to the formation of the universe. God is not an entity, God is an event. Divine? who knows.. Despite that, the universe is not created with a set path, and there is not a predetermined future for yourself. Many aspects of religious teachings are merely forged for the survival of the associated church and its relevent doctrine. Therefore, whatever 'God' is, he's not a "being" with creative rights on the universe, and he's certainly not 'All-Powerful'.

Answer 2

God is Logical and thats why he would not want to change thae fact 1+1=2. But people think they have become powerful and have changed the fact. They say 1+1+1=1. To prove their theory, they claim Logic and God are world apart. The Simple Truth is God is Simple and Logical. 1+1 will always be equal to 2.

Answer 3

There has been a lot of times God have made 1+ 1= 3. If I can think of it so is my God. If nothing exist, there will still be something there because God can also be found in the nothingness. Zero is an infinite number, it is less than 1 but definitely have a sum. that cannot be settled specially for mind that is deranged.

Answer 4

Permit me to use the 80-20 rule here; or some may think of it as the rule, and the exception to the rule. As a general rule (the 80)_, yes 1+1=2. That is God's logical (automatic system). However, God can also make an 'exception to the rule' (the 20) if he chooses to. Sometimes 'we' Christians call these (20's) 'miracles'.

Answer 5

yes he could, but then we wouldnt be dealing with the same universe any longer, nor the same god. if he had in fact created the universe. he would be a part of the universe and would have to abide by the laws of said universe. if he had power to undo the law of 1+1=2 then he would undo the known universe and his known existance along with it. we wouldnt notice the change, due to the fact the changed law would in fact be law since the beginning of the universe. for example god changed it, you would be asking another question like could god change the fact 4+4=2. universal laws are code for the basis of the universe. god doesnt change, he just exist. the question is in fact pointless because in order to find out the answer you would have never really asked the same question.

Answer 6

How do you know 1+1=2 Because this is what you are taught in school? I didn't think anyone was born with this special knowledge. Again this is showing the truth about Christians. When a preacher tells you something you take is as word of God. Instead of believing everything you hear from religion maybe it time to think for yourself. 1+1 may or may not = 2 but maybe it's time for you to use your mind instead of someone else. LEGALIZE FREE THINKING

Answer 7

God created the ones and the twos and everything else around you. They were there before the Indians discovered them. God's equations are so much more complicated than one plus one equals two.. He simplified it for the humans to try and understand.. but instead of being grateful you try and find flaws in His perfection.He created that tiny brain of yours that no matter how hard it tries and thinks will never come to understand the complete balance of God's creation. I'm really sick of all the Athiests out there who are just finding an excuse to live life easy.

There all gazillions of questions science doesnt answer.. and many of them are answered by believing in God.

Answer 8

no, but i could make people think that 1+1 does not =2

if nothing existed, then 1+1 would neither be equal or unequal to 2; to say one or the other seems to imply that some sort of logic or 'illogic' does exist

Answer 9

"1", "2", addition and equality are all definitions. It requires an extraordinary effort to define the terms in order to frame the question in any meaningful way. There are arbitrary system, contrary to experience, where common addition does not apply.

Answer 10

You forget god is the constant values in the universe.

Math can solve any problem
Math can be irrational. squareroot of i anyone.
Just a joke.
