Naturally, there may Grand Lawmaker, but there is nothing that suggests there is.

Unless, of curse, you can argue otherwise. Else you're just making non sequitur after wild conjecture after unsubstantiated hypotheses.


Is your interpretation really correct?
Well, as I said, I don't have an interpretaion: just as the atheist doesn't have a religous belief, neither do I make any claims as to the origin of mathematical laws: I simply point out that there is nothing indicative of a Lawmaker (of which I would gladly welcome disproof).

Probably for the same reason that Einstein opposed quantum mechanics, or Newton spent his last decades in alchemy. Genius does not preclude irrationality or subjective beliefs.

Well, why do you see it that way? Thinking
