  1. "This truth embedded in numbers is the greatest example of a universal constant of nature which is outside of space and time. Reality itself is essentially subject to a logical framework which is timeless, immaterial, and logical self-referential and self-consistent.
  2.  
  3. In realizing this truth, there was a moment in which it sunk in that such an entity is no different from God."

  6. The idea that you are putting forth, is one of two things; Either it is that that the existence of a 'logical framework' is no different from the existence of a God, but that is simply not the case. Prime numbers didn't write a series of books outlining why your way of life is wrong, sinful and you deserve to burn in hell for. The Christian God did.
  7.  
  8. If not that, then you are inserting a middle step with the existence of a God being required to explain the existence of fundamental ideas, such as prime numbers. This is simply not the case. 7 is a prime number by definition, not because any God decided it would be. How is 7 prime? What decisions could have been made by a higher power to lead to 7 being prime? If you have any, I'd love to hear about them. I will accept that 7 is prime because that's what it is by definition, not because it was decided by a higher power. I will change that view when I am presented evidence that challenges it.
  9.  
  10. Let's assume you are correct, and that 7 is prime because that was decided by a higher power. Why would that be the Christian God? What evidence is there that the same being that decided that 7 is prime, is the same one that told us not to wear clothing made from two kinds of material? What evidence is there that those aren't two different beings?
  11.

  13. I do not view your testimony as evidence enough for the existence of any higher power, letalone the Christian God.
  14. I do not wish to misrepresent your viewpoint. I apologise if I have done that. I am open to talking in a less one-sided forum, if you wish to provide.
