He said that we should ponder the fact that mathematics -- a creation of the human intellect -- correctly models the created world. This demonstrates that both the human mind and the universe have a single intelligent source. lpioch on "Words, words, words, And their meanings." http://forums.catholicexchange.com/topic/693#post-12001 Sat, 07 Apr 2007 08:28:28 +0000 lpioch 12001@http://forums.catholicexchange.com/ Aw...C'mon PS.You, a man of faith (higher than the sciences), should recognize that mathematics is a language only of the created. By definition, it is limited. It can only do what it is supposed to do. And it does it as best as it can.Kinda like us humans. But it can still offer a brief, however small, glimmer to the great infinite and unknown. wljewell on "Words, words, words, And their meanings." http://forums.catholicexchange.com/topic/693#post-12000 Fri, 06 Apr 2007 20:57:42 +0000 wljewell 12000@http://forums.catholicexchange.com/ God loves you . C'mon, pouliot - lpioch is a scientist so her mathematical apparency may be more esoterica out of biochemistry or astrophysics. Read John chapter 14, and you'll find the Trinity is neither unionized nor intersected. Now, I see that after inviting just such esoteric stretches, now you claim Humpty Dumpty is bent. You next will claim the Queen of Hearts was a Nostradamus-like proto-beast prefiguring Hitler. SEE?
