Math+The Glory of God?

Math+The Glory of God?

Math and the Glory of God are often put together as a joke. I am writing just to suggest that Math glorifies God just as much as nature does, mainly because I think math could be seen as part of nature.

I want you to just think about what a number is. A number only represents something physical, at least for the most part. Math is all about numbers and therefore is all about world around us.

In my math class God has been showing me that math is all about rules and truths. Many of these Truths can be seen around us even when doing daily activities like counting up how many pairs of socks we have. Sock plus sock is a pair of socks or two socks never do we find ourselves with three socks from two. Math is all about the way the world works. Now the question is,"does the world work like this because we discovered these rules or are these rules just a way of explaining the way the world works?" It would just be silly to think that the world suddenly began to run on rules that we discovered. I believe that God created the rules which math must follow and the God created the rules which all creation obeys. I believe this because God said it is so,"He upholds the universe by the word of his power."(Heb 1:2).

Math is just another pointer to the truth that God is running all things. So do not just shrug off math. God can be seen in math. If I took time to tell you everything that God has taught me I would have to write a short essay. So I would encourage you to think about how the rules and laws of this world show God's character because he continues to hold them in place.

(sorry if this did not make a lot of sense my goal was to

encourage you to have small idea how Math can point

to God. I am hoping to make many more posts about

random things in life, shafts of light that point

back to the sun. The topic of Math is just a really

tough topic to start on.)
