You guys have it totally backwards.But mathematical knowledge is evolutionary. People didn't just start writing a buch of numbers in any order they wanted and call it math. They tested mathematical ideas against reality-- so that the truths were revealed, and the falsehoods melted away into obscurity. So it is true that 2+2=4. However, the knowledge that 2+2=4 required people to put 2 and 2 things together, count them again, and arrive at that understanding.
