Well I agree in the sense that mathematics isn't something that exists physically in outside reality; that we have evidence OF.
But maths is evidently a very strong tool for helping us understand the world.
How does faith help us understand the world? Faith is belief without evidence.
How do we reason to a belief in God through faith (belief without evidence)?
If there's no evidence of "God" why believe in him any more than anything else that lacks evidence? Why is "God" a special case? And why one particular God over all the other Gods? Especially if you include all the hypothetical ones that you could possibly dream up yourself?
