What is similarity of mathematics and religion?

Answer 1

They both explain how the world works. As a Christian Mathematician it is great to look at things and see their complexity and know how amazing God must have been to make all the atoms etc. As wella s all the laws of physics and math etc.

Answer 2

None, really.

Mathematics involves looking at the properties of numbers. Numbers can be directly ascribeable to real things. Proofs in mathematics involves stating an initial assumption or condition and showing a necessary conclusion from that. All of the terms used and all of the transformations involved are explicitly defined.

On the other hand, religion is based on superstition and myth. Any "proofs" it has usually just amount to circular reasoning or "prophecies" that were written in decades after the supposed prophet died so they seemed to match, roughly, what was predicted. The terms used in religion are, at best, vaguely defined and have no real basis in the real world.

Mathematics has helped man put together the observations of scientists to better understand the world. Religion has given pat answers that have no basis in fact, but strongly tend to lead to intolerance, bigotry, chauvinism, war, torture, and repressive regimes.

If anything, they are direct opposites.

Answer 3

Indeed Hinduism and Mathematics were very much related

We have Vedic mathematics, that was derived from Vedas the great Hindu scripture.

Do a random search on Vedic mathematics to find how mathematics were used in Hinduism some 5000-7000 years ago

Answer 4

Mathematics:

1 + 1 + 1 = 3

Religion:

1 + 1 + 1 = 1


Bit of a disjoint actually.

Answer 5

Hmmm... They have mathematics teachers at Catholic schools. Mathematics was integral in building churches, cathedrals, temples, etc.

Beyond this, what's supposed to be the relationship?

Answer 6

I beleive that what we are seeing with arithmetic and physics is a perspective of existence, introduction, or the The Universe or despite way you prefer to think of approximately this is concrete information of what non secular masters have long been asserting. i don't think that any of those issues can shop time with the extremely evolving Universe because it expands in all instructions yet I do have faith this is something to have fun as even skeptics could have a problematic time being skeptics in easy of the form of information that their minds seem to require. the situation with left concepts interests as those is that with out the non secular element of the information to make it an entire view this is prey to those who do not understand and who could use this archives to the incorrect ends. With super expertise comes super accountability for with out it we run the possibility of falling in techniques defined interior the Atlantian tale. "To He Whom lots is given lots is predicted." Merry Christmas

Answer 7

i don't remember..like i should..but the number 7, 8, 6, 20, 3, 50, 100, 40..all has a spiritual dimensional meaning..that help his kingdom to be establish on earth.
numbers are a language..is it not?
it communicate...a thought..or pattern.
if one study 3 in bible..you'll notice form old to new..a hidden meaning of prepartion for the presence of GOD

Answer 8

Some call Buddhism a religion and some a philosophy, but calling it a religion-
Buddhism is based on reasoning and logic. I believe it has similiarities to science too, but you didn't as that!

Answer 9

Ummm we can draw statistics about religion and thats about the only real math connection.

Answer 10

For me my religion is logical I am a mathematician so my religion makes perfect sense to me. Else I would not have converted.

Muslims know how to add :)
