How math brings order to our universe

Mathematics allows us to take all of the complexity of the universe and wrap it up

into an equation or a system of equations that we can then understand and model

So it's easy to see why people would think of God as a mathematician. creativity and the beauty shows up in the field when you see how math is related to nature and the things that we see around us

The migration of fish follows a mathematical model. The way that birds swarm in the sky can be modeled mathematically

If you think about the way that we represent numbers and the way that we're able to

manipulate equations and systems, it is the true universal language. that we all speak, we all understand

and we can all use to communicate with each other. This theological connection gives us a basis to think about the intentionality with which the world around us was created That intentionality must have originated somewhere

Just like nothing around us is random. There's a beautiful mathematical model that we can use to represent it

It's also the case then that we didn't occur by a happenstance

and the world didn't form by happenstance. And so there must also be some beautiful entity that created the order that we see

Mathematics really gives us the language whereby we're able to even make that connection

and see the beauty of the order and the rationality that we observe in the universe

And so when we're able to look at a system in nature and see that there's order and purpose

it then makes you think, well, then there's got to be an order and a purpose for me

There's got to be some reason that I am here. And so I think that's able to give us meaning and can bring meaning to our lives

when we realize that, yes, in fact, we are special. There's something special about our presence in this moment
