How is the validity of this?

RE: How is the validity of this?
Hopefully to avoid pedantacisim (might not be a real word, but when in doubt, make up words Smile )...

God is an idea by humans...
Math is an idea by humans...

God should be useful to humans, and at the time of its invention it was extremely useful to humans.

God is like the security blanket of a child, god is no longer usefull to humans, because humans have grown up.

That is where the system breaks down, like an illness, the humans are not able to tear the scab off, and cling to it.



Math is still usefull to humans.

Whereas god is a flexible, abstract idea to be interpreted in any way depending on who it is being beat with, math is a set of proofs that can be used to model the outcomes of various happenings.

Math deals with absolutes, and math deals with absolute truthful proofs, or else math doesent work.
Math can only be interpreted one way, or else it becomes unuseful.
Basic things like algebra use real numbers (what you meant by absolute values I think) but math also deals with the most abstract of concepts. There is always some sort of definite awnser with math, the same problem gets the same solution every time, and there are no grey areas.


Math can be demonstrated using reality.

God cannot be demonstrated using reality.
Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
