Eric: Is math something man invented to explain the universe or is math something god designed into the universe?
Loaded question.
Marianne: Tonight's guest is going to share how math is a proof for a creator god. [paraphrased]
You guys couldn't follow a proof of the Pythagorean theorem, let alone grasp what a proof is.
Eric: Now if you don't like math, don't worry we're not solving any math problems.
That's because you guys can't solve any problems. So they shouldn't even pretend they're about to prove anything.
Eric: But we will look at the problem between math and evolution.
Let me guess, it's going to be some probability argument based on a lack of understanding of probability and biology. Edit: Wow, it wasn't! It was even worse.
Haha, then there's a part that says the purpose of this series is to defend your faith in a war against christianity.
Marianne: ...did you know this -these- devices [refering to mobile devices] are made possible by math?
Why is she telling an audience of adults this? They should already know... oh wait, she is addressing people that literally don't know anything!
Marianne: Now I know for some people like myself, mention the word math and my mind cringes at the thought. Memorization, formulas, square roots, yikes!
Keep crying, baby. The role they have her act is so sad and stupid. The only reason she's there is to play along with exactly how their audience feels.
Lol and then Eric lists a bunch of math terms he heard from somewhere and he can't even remember the term linear transformations. And then they use the bible as evidence that god exists and that he created math. Marianne then goes on to talk about how god made the laws of gravity and the elements; why don't we see that in the bible? You guys just gave a bunch of basic counting examples in the Bible as proof god made math, finish your game by pulling Gauss's law for gravity or a table of nuclides out of the bible.
They also seem to be obsessed about measuring things and seem to conflate that with being math. Most of math deals with unitless quantities, if it deals with quantities at all.
Ah and then their guest is an engineer and a former atheist, so he must know what he's talking about. Oh wait, he goes on to say science is a belief system.
Spike: If you accept that science works than atheism must be false because there's a set of things that must be true for the universe to work.
Except that not how logic works at all. Atheism is just a lack of belief in god(s), that there is consistency in the universe doesn't demonstrate the existence of a god.
Then Spike uses a fallacy of the excluded middle. And they continue to misconstrue platonism, yes the Greeks were platonists, no they didn't see it as proof of god. Eric and his friends are just piling up straw men.
I also really like how they use Spike's credentials to somehow support his postion, but then they quote a bunch of famous mathematicians who disagree with them (Eric and friends) and their (actual mathematicians) credentials don't somehow support their (the mathematicians) positions. In either case to use ones credentials like that is a non-argument, the point is Eric and his buddies have a double standard going on. It's also worth noting these mathematicians never did that.
The main point Eric tries to make is that if we created math then it must be subjective like a poem or an art piece, and since math is the basis of science then science must also be subjective in the same way. Therefor science must be no good and one must be forced to take their position that god exists and created math. -- Except math is not subjective, platonist or not. Math and science make testable predictions regardless if one thinks it was created by humans or is something platonistic. And once again their argument ignores other options - suppose they were right and this does show a god exists, then I guess I'll worship Zeus. After all, Plato was a Greek!
Then they try to use Maxwell's equations to say some similar things. They're really good at forgetting that we created the formal mathematical language we use to describe the universe; if it didn't do its job well we wouldn't have done it.
