Math and philosophy are not the same thing.

Get your facts right. Mathematics was once a philosophy. Every science was once a philosophy. Now your a moderator has that elevated you to 'know it all'. Looks as if it has. Should I bow now. Your jugements show evidence of your true character.

Show me your scientific/researched evidence that Philosophy and Maths are not the same thing. Your opinion will not suffice.

Hmmm, they suspiciously look like not the same thing.

Proving a negative as a mathematical equation is a concept of numbers. Proving a negative in philosophy is a concept truth. Saying that they are the same because one was rooted in the other is silly.

The concept that you can't prove a negative is about proving that something doesn't exist, not a negative quantity. That's a big difference. Whether you can or cannot prove a negative statement is debatable. And yes, a math problem is a statement, but with two different meanings. Like the difference between a regular theory and a scientific theory, there is a difference in a philosophical statement and a mathematical statement.

And no, I don't claim to know it all. Never have, never will. Moderator or not I still would have pointed out the fallacy in the statement you made. So please, try to argue based on facts and not make baseless accusations that has nothing to do with the argument at hand. Ad hominems get you nowhere.
