    Does the human ability to do math (such as it is) prove the existence of God? http://wp.me/ppUXF-Gw3  via @Evolutionistrue

        @sapinker May as well ask whether the ability of humanity to do God proves maths...

        @sapinker @Evolutionistrue There is no proof that God exists but neither is there proof that God does not. I know things beyond 1, 2, 3.

        @sapinker @Evolutionistrue I thought math was just pattern recognition. All thinking things do it.
