universe was created by an intelligent designer—the God of the Bible.
---The laws of
mathematics (e.g., commutative, associative, and distributive) come
from God’s mind.
---Mathematics is one form of God’s thought—others include
descriptive (Genesis 1), naming (Genesis 1:5), animating (Genesis 2:7), visualizing (Exodus 25:40; Exodus 26:30), and logical (Isaiah 1:18).
The laws of mathematics exist in God’s mind and were not affected by
the Fall of man into sin.
The laws of mathematics are therefore perfect (The law of the LORD is perfect...Psalm 19:7)
and can be derived without error.
Of course, this does not mean that
accountants and engineers (and others), affected by the Curse (Genesis 3:17–19), will always perform their arithmetical calculations without error."
