God & Math question...?
IF the formation of the what we know as the universe & all of its contents can be determined with a mathematical formula, equation, whatever..since math is in everything, THEN does that disprove that there is a God, creator, whatever you feel comfortable calling "it"? Meaning if man/woman was smart enough to figure out the math to how the universe was formed does it disprove "God, creator, whatever.." because we (people) figured it out?

Can it all be determined with a formula?
Even if it could, a formula would answer the question HOW, not WHO.

No, it does not.
Math is the map of the territory. The Universe is the territory. Understanding something based upon an examination of the map of the territory is not even close to the same thing as understanding something based upon the examination of the territory itself. Math is a theory, versus having an experience of the territory that math maps, is far different. And btw, God created the natural principles that created the Universe in the first place. So, math, and other theories may be able to explain the formation of the Universe one day, (though I doubt it), but our limited frame of refrence, (our consciousness), will never be able to explain God.
Peace and Namaste!

Whilst everything can be broken down to a mathematical formula, and if it were possible to map the entire universe, it would still be ignored when presented as evidence. This is due to the fact that you cannot provide positive evidence of the absence of the deity. Only evidence that makes his participation all the less likely.

Math is our observation of the universe, not the root cause. Can an equation create a lepton, or drive the gravitational force of the Big Bang? No, not any more than a map can create a landscape, only describe it to us.
It's not the math that comprises the universe, but rather what the math DESCRIBES.

i assumed there replaced right into a one hundred% probability that god would not exist. Why are you giving credit to those human beings. listed right here are a pair examples to grant some evidence god would not exist. Siamese twins. Why could somebody sane enable this. toddler deaths...except angels love little infants....or wait, you may desire to be baptized to circulate to heaven. Then why care approximately abortions? George Bush. yet he's a born back Christian...oh and often individuals that have self assurance in God even have self assurance in Bush. Oh wait, what with regard to something of the inhabitants that has in no way even heard of God, or has their very own faith. it truly is the unintelligent human beings in society that choose a God to hold directly to. it truly is for the elementary minded individuals that are no longer able to think of plenty approximately existence and opt to trick themselves that there is a advantages on the tip of existence, that they could have a place between gods and in astounding heaven. the human beings that wrote the bible did it for a similar reason Homer wrote his thoughts. a similar reason we, at present, have a shape. It replaced into the way human beings needed to stay by ability of. It replaced into the hassle-loose regulations of society. The authors of the bible have been genius, yet of direction in the event that they weren't, we wouldnt nonetheless have it. I guess that in case you lived contained for the duration of historical Greeks, you may take care of the Gods of that component to boot... only by way of fact the hassle-loose human beings did back then. Or are you asserting that one and all of you have got familiar that Zeus did no longer exist? I wrote this in a variety to make all of you disillusioned and so which you will write something indignant in return. i'm hoping you savour being trouble-free minded something of your lives.

God created math, so math could never truly be used to disprove God.
Is math an idol to you?
I have never seen math create anything. Math does not, nor cannot explain origin.

it shows God created with reason. yes the beginnnig of creation is unexplainable with creating everything out of nothing, but God created everything to plan and with order. So yes, math may be able to prove a lot, for that is what God did. But in no way does math prove there is no God. God is the number one scientist, math pro, etc etc etc.

Before answering this question, please understand questions like this should NEVER arise in your mind.
God is not rational and therefore it is WRONG to ask a mathematical question related to her.
If you ever want to put she in to your math equation, use this: g/x = 0 (g=0, x>0).
