    You edited out the rest of my post where I stated I do not categorically rule out the possibility divine providence played a role in biological emergence. Maybe it did.

    I have consistently attempted to train my mind from shutting off any possibilities for emergence, in spite of your attempts to write responses to what you wish I wrote.
    He does that. I don't know why.

    Yes, math is a tool, Captain Obvious.

    The question is how/why do our brains conceptualize something that has no material existence; and yet, it comports with objective reality in a way that is useful? It’s almost as if our brains were designed to discover it and put it to use.

    I’m a Christian who thinks it doesn’t matter how Genesis is interpreted with respect to origins. So I’m a heretic to one camp and a Bible thumping creationist to the other.

    "A militant atheist is one who is hostile towards religion. They differ from moderate atheists because they have the desire to propagate atheism and also hold religion to be harmful. Militant atheism was an integral part of the French Revolution, Soviet Union, Cultural Revolution, and is expresses itself today in the ideas of the New Atheist authors."

    Both lugnuts and honeycombs are hexagons. That's not a coincidence no more than the fact all the best wheels are round.

    A person doesn't need to know math to realize the superiority of certain shapes over others. Math allows people to describe the shapes. As such it can become a universal language.

    Bees make the strongest shape and don't know math.

    https://buffaloarchitecture.org/wp-c...alElements.pdf
    What is the strongest geometric shape?

    The hexagon is the strongest shape known. Not many people know this but if you
    want something to hold a lot of weight pick a hexagon. Hexagonal patterns are
    prevalent in nature due to their efficiency. In a hexagonal grid each line is as
    short as it can possibly be if a large area is to be filled with the fewest number of
    hexagons. This means that honeycombs require less wax to construct and gain
    lots of strength under compression. It's also one of the only shapes which
    tessellates perfectly (think tiles, if you tiled a wall with hexagons then there
    wouldn't be any gaps.
