Er... no, you were attempting to misrepresent me and it was obvious to anyone capable of reading.
Actually I think your claim was that mathematics is a metaphysical assumption and it demonstrably isn't.
Mathematics has an incredible amount of physical evidence to back-up its validity as a system that yields accurate results.
It cannot be defined either as metaphysical or assumptions. If you disagree buy yourself a dictionary and see if you can troll that.
Thanks for playing.
(Totally worth it.)
That's not me. I wear top hats.
But even when you claim "incredible amount of physical evidence", you are implying a second assumption of science. It's the problem of induction. Again.
Yet another scientific assumption.
