Creation Moment 4/26/2024 - God’s attributes as seen through Math

For the invisible things of Him since the creation of the world 
--are clearly seen, 
--being perceived through the things that are made, 
even His everlasting power and divinity
that they may be without excuse
Romans 1:20 HNV

"What’s remarkable about the reality of universals as proof for God’s existence is that it points in a simple and clear way to some of God’s attributes, such as infinity, eternity, and omnipotence.

The Mind that contains them must itself be infinite.
*Because the Mind in which natural numbers exists is infinite, it is also omnipotent. 
*Limitations on power are finite and are inconsistent with an infinite Mind.

Because numbers exist independently of the material universe, they are eternal (e.g., the truth that 1+1=2 is independent of time) and thus the Mind that contains them is eternal.
Because mathematics can show infinity, eternity, and omnipotence, it can only have proceeded from a mind with those characteristics. That’s God."
