I want evidence that mathematics is real at all since you claim that 1.999... IS 2. As if this has any significance in the natural world. First of all that would mean that numbers exist in the real world. What's your evidence for that? It looks you're off into the realms of the supernatural joining the theists in fabulation.
I don't claim to have a supernatural authority...and I'm quite confused as to why you've brought it up.
Please go and re-read the thread if you want proofs.
Now saddle up your evidence-based critical thinking horse and start delivering evidence.
