But I have just shown that this claim is untrue. Ideas are non-physical things with no mass. Your argument's structure has "Mathematics is reliable when limited in its application to physical things" as a premise. With an untrue premise, your argument fails.graybear13 wrote:....Savonarola wrote:How many ideas have I espoused here?
1+1=2
Thus, math applies to non-physical things as well.
If an idea is not attached to a material thing, math and logic cannot reliably describe it because math and logic are blind without the circumstances of mass.
You seem to think that the sheep-shearing parable proves that I cannot have 1+1=2 ideas. This is why nobody but yourself can take you seriously.
Photons are massless particles that carry no charge but carry energy in mathematically measureable, additive, even quantized amounts. So now in your uneducated zeal to deny the Big Bang, you've also denied quantum mechanics.graybear13 wrote:If an idea is not attached to a material thing, math and logic cannot reliably describe it because math and logic are blind without the circumstances of mass.
