Numbers sure do exist. Why? Because when I was signing up for my account here, I was having a lot of trouble trying to get a NAME to be accepted. It went on for ages, can you imagine that?. Since I was being told, "give THREE words for a suggestion for a name", I typed in SEVEN sunny daze. Well, whaddaya know? So if I've chosen to have seven sunny daze, no matter what the week turns up, I've already made my mind up it's going to be a sunny week, all week long.

Hai fgsdffdsf d,
Yes, they do!
They exist in our system.
As long as we use them in our existence, they would exist, till some inventor finds some other alternative.
However its relative.
For instance, for me & you, the numbers 0....9, exist. But for many who do not use 0...9, but use some other count, for them 0...9 does not exist. But that some other count does not exist for us.
But if you consider all types of counts, whether it is 0...9, or other counts used by many as numbers, they exist for everyone.

yes they do and no they don't. there are different systems of numbers. we use the decimal system which are numbers 0-9. most computers and things of the sort use the binary system which only includes numbers 0-1. in that system, 2-9 are non existent; never seen them, and don't know what it is.

In the human mind, yes. In nature itself, I don't think so. They're actually just a part of a language by which humans describe and analyze nature and everything else in the world. The world simply exists until we conciously comprehend it.

yes, and imaginary numbers exist too.
animals dont use them because they have no use for them. same reason dogs are said to be color blind, which isnt entirely true, they just dont care for and have no use for colors.

The entire world is math. Everything can be explained by math. So I would say yeah, as tools for human understanding.
