I don't understand why mathematics is different. You don't talk about theories in Junior High math, granted, but mathematics is a science. What about number theory, the theory of probability, Pythagoras' theorem, Fermat's theorem, logic theory, recursion theory, and the recently repopularized invariant theory? Math is a more fundamental tool than science (you could say that math is tool to help model the science, which is a tool to help model the world), but not inherently different, or exempt from the scientific method.



Math is Raw knowledge with no emotions!! Math is much much much different, Math is soo much better.... A theorem is a lot different than a Theorey. A theorem is PROVEN and is not arguable. You can not disagree with a theorem. There is only right and wrong in Math, no emotions, no beliefs, simply knowledge. Math is completely extempt from the Scientific method, there are no observations, there is no collection of data, and there is no educated guess.... You have numbers, and either you solve them or you do not.

I LOVE MATH.

I'm pathetic i know.


As for the arguement to close the thread, I would like to see it stay open, It's fun.

I think we should all agree that it will never go anywhere, and no one here will convert to christianity or athesism, just from our feeble ramblings. But I think as long as we keep the name calling to a minimum we should be alright.

its going around in circles cause theres no easy answer. and there never will be one that everyone agrees on. closing it will only leave the person who just had their argument torn apart feeling cheated out of the debate. hopefully if we dont post in it unless it is on topic with the subject eventualy it wil loose interest and fall down to another page.

Sorry guys, I'm unsubscribing (from this thread only). I'd rather focus on car things. I'll check back every now and then to see where its going. Interesting yes, but tiresome.
