What do mathematicians have to tell about the existence of God?

It is a big surprise that we are still stuck up about the existence of the God, whom we believe should have created the universe and should have made existence of things such as souls (which is also as controversial as the existence of God); that, too — when we have such a fascinating technique as the technique of finding the “breakeven points” for all un-resolvable issues.

It is really sad that it should have taken us so long to find a common locus where both the atheists and the theists should have shared the dais.

Come on guys — let us once again look at the possibility of solving this issue that has kept us guessing all the while, till today.

Let us assume that there can’t be any “problem of mathematics” that may not have an answer.

Since mathematics is intermeshed with almost everything that exists in the universe, we may also say — if we may find a solution to each and every “problem of mathematics”, mathematics may get us close to prove or disprove the existence of God and the existence of the souls, also.

Looking for an answer within the bastion of mathematics

Until such time that the Italian polymath Girolamo Cardano [1] (1501–76) did not come out with the equation “x^2 -10 x+40 = 0” which has “5 +√-15” and “5 — √-15” as its roots, in the year 1545, the square roots or cube roots of negative numbers used to be regarded as “imaginary” numbers. But it was he, who proved that since the roots of this equation bore square roots of a negative number “-15”, it established that it was not justified to think that the “Square roots of the negative numbers” belong to an “Imaginary Realm”.

How strange does it look that we should not have strived to find out such equations that could have established the existence of even the cube roots (and further up — such as the quadric roots, the quintic roots and so on) of negative numbers as well, instead of calling it a day with the discovery of an equation that could have established the existence of just the square roots of the negative numbers?

Before mathematicians think of finding a mathematical answer to the question “Whether God exists or not”, they should at least look out for not only the cubic equations that may justify the existence of the “cube roots of some negative numbers” but even quartic equations the roots of which may consist of the “quartic roots of some negative number” and a quintic equation the roots of which, may consist of the “quintic roots of some negative number” the same way as Girolamo Cardano could have found the equation “x^2 -10 x+40 = 0” the roots of which consist of the square roots of “-15”.

We should open our shop with the technique of solving such polynomial equations that may justify the existence of the cube roots, the quartic roots and the quintic roots (and so on) of the negative numbers first before we set out of our house to find out — whether God exists or not.

To wonder why we have not been able to ascertain whether God exists or does not exist, is as laughable as someone, who may have not learnt even the method of solving quadratic equations, may wonder — why he is not able to solve multinomial equations such as “12x^6y^4z^2 + 7x^5y^3 –17y + 8z = 35”.

We should bear in our mind that we can’t measure the depth of God’s knowledge of mathematics, who should have used the square roots of the decimal numbers to shape even the spiral conchs and sea-shells as is evident from the following diagram or the “Fibonacci Sequence” to shape, say, the pine cones or the shapes of the galaxies.

Nonetheless, it is an eye-opener that the existence of the so-called, “Planet Nine” is claimed to have been proved mathematically.

If that should be the case, it raises our hope that sooner or later, they may even prove the existence of God the same way, as they have proved the existence of “Planet Nine”.

If they can prove that the “quartic roots” and the “quintic (and upward) roots” of the negative numbers also do not belong to an imaginary realm, it would strengthen the ground to believe that the existence of the God may also not belong to an imaginary realm.
