>>13512057Math is compatible with religion, because most mathematicians, even if ignorant of philosophy, are platonists who think they are searching for something that exists out there, that they discover mathematic truths, they don't create them.
And there is not much difference between believing in mathematical concepts existing for real, and believing in God. See pic related, or what Erdos used to say about the book of proofs of God.
"Erd?s had definite ideas about mathematical elegance. He believed that God, whom he affectionately called the S.F. or Supreme Fascist, had a transfinite book (“transfinite” being a mathematical concept for something larger than infinity) that contained the shortest, most beautiful proof for every conceivable mathematical problem. The highest compliment he could pay to a colleague’s work was to say, “That’s straight from The Book.” As for Chebyshev’s theorem, no one doubted that Erd?s had found The Book proof."
And the modern people that believe in reality as a simulation are religious whether they know it or not, they just made God a coder.
