Wow, the ignorance of this statement is astounding.
I thought you atheists claimed to be logical thinkers and scientists.
But you think that mathematics is something subjectively defined by humans?
Wow.
I mean, wow.
What's the difference between ayard and a meter and how do we define that? How long is an inch? Why does + mean add? Why does 1 look like that rather than like this ~? We arbitrarily defined all of those things. Why do you think that someone could 'invent' calculus?
Not even God could change mathematics, because God cannot make truth untrue any more than he could will himself out of existence.
Since God IS truth, you might even say that mathematics IS God.
