[QUOTE="doubtingmerle, post: 76884649, member: 6687"] Wait what? Now we are going to discuss if 2 + 2 = 5 ? In the last thread I was on, we had a huge discussion about whether it was possible for 2+ 2 to equal 10 or for 2 + 2 to equal 53,567. I contended that 2 + 2 has to equal 4 in all possible worlds. It simply could not be otherwise. My opponent contended that the laws of mathematics were not fixed, that God instead invented the laws of mathematics. If God truly invented the laws of mathematics, then when doing so, presumably God could have invented that 2 + 2 = 10 or any other number he chose. My opponent went through amazing gymnastics to justify what he said. Another person argued that mathematics were simply manmade constructions that were not always true. One day I decided to include this poem in a post on that thread: [B]2+2<>10[/B] Two plus two, it is not ten. It is not ten, no matter when. It is not ten, not here or there. It is not ten, not anywhere. "It might be ten. Yes, it could be. If God, this world, didn't oversee. Maybe on an alien tree." It would not, could not, in a tree. "On Krypton?" No, you let me be. It is not ten, not in a box. It is not ten, not with a fox. It is not ten, not in a house. It is not ten, not with a mouse. It is not ten, not here or there. It is not ten, not anywhere. I do not need to state again. It is not ten. It is not ten. --doubtingmerle (see [URL='https://www.christianforums.com/threads/human-evolution.8253515/page-13#post-76823972']Human Evolution[/URL]) [/QUOTE]
