Please explain...
@LadyCamus, I'm glad you're enjoying this
@Simon.
Sure. I'll explain it below.
We agreed (myself and you, Simon) on the following definition of supernatural:
Quote:supernatural (or metaphysical, if you want) simply means a concept that exists outside the physical world.
concepts of mathematics (e.g. the mental concept of a differential equation, etc) exists outside the physical world. It exists even if you remove this entire world. Ergo, its a supernatural concept (as per the above definition).
As soon as you grant independent existence to any concept, it becomes somewhat supernatural. Like the concept of root beer floats, among others. Why single out maths?
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
