Sep 19, 2024 · Key Takeaways. Mathematics in Scripture: The Bible integrates mathematical concepts, highlighting their role in spiritual understanding and practical applications. Symbolism of Numbers: Key numbers like one (unity), three (completeness), seven (perfection), and twelve (divine authority) carry significant theological meaning throughout biblical ...
The principles we have discovered about the addition equation “1 + 1 = 2” apply to the rest of math. Like addition, all of math is a way of recording and expressing the laws and relationships God created. Math works because God faithfully holds everything in place. Math is not independent from God. It is not neutral.

Apr 29, 2019 · The answer is that math isn't the product of a human mind, but rather the product of the mind of God. Since God has always existed and thought, the laws of mathematics are also eternal, existing before people. I must stop and say it's no wonder Romans 1:20 tells us that it is ‘the things that are made” that reveal the attributes of God ...

In this section we deal with the philosophical context and presuppositions of mathematics. Needless to say, those philosophers who are not Christians would take issue with the interpretation of mathematics in section 1. But are the disagreements important? Can’t a person do mathematics and come out with the right conclusion without anyphilosophy? I...
Now we would like to trace how true and false philosophies work out in views of the relation of mathematics to sciences. How is mathematics related on the one hand to logic, and on the other hand to physics and to experiment? In modern times this question has been further elaborated by the various schools of mathematical philosophy, so that we can ...
Non-Christian philosophers have tried to give an account of how we know that 2+2 = 4. Do we know it simply by pure reflection (a priori, independent of experience)? or by observing the world (a posteriori, derived from experience)? Do we gain the knowledge by remembering what we once knew but have forgotten (Plato)? by logical argument (Russell?)? ...
To understand how men come to know 2+2 = 4, we must appreciate the biblical view of man. We have already seen in section 1 that man was appointed to a special role in the created world. More specifically, Scripture says that man is the image of God (Gen. 1:26; cf. Gen. 2:7; I Cor. 11:7). As such, his work is to imitate receptively, on a finite leve...
The existence of a science of mathematics depends upon the ability of men to communicate with one another, and on the availability of a medium of communication. Both of these factors go back to creation. Men have one racial origin (Acts 17:26). They share a common nature (the image of God, Gen. 1:26-27; 5:1-3), and they have been given the gift of ...
Finally, we give a brief sketch of how biblical ethics applies to work in mathematics. A Christian recognizes that he lives under the Lordship of God, in the light of God’s present commands and God’s coming judgment. He sees that, as in the case of Abraham and the nation of Israel, his whole life—marital, political, economic, social, spatial—ought ...
Jan 31, 2013 · The Bible teaches that God created a perfect universe, one that was “very good” (Genesis 1:31). There was originally no suffering, sickness, or death. But man rebelled (Genesis 3). This rebellion is sin, and the penalty for sin is death. The moment the first man, Adam, sinned, death came into the world. Man’s relationship to God was no ...

5 days ago · 1 Corinthians 14:33. “For God is not a God of disorder but of peace.”. Mathematics operates on principles of order and structure. This verse assures us that God is a God of order and peace. When we engage with math, we encounter the beauty and harmony of mathematical principles that bring order to the world.
