You're a tough nut to crack CraigD
I suppose you are right.
I was thinking Math has been around before we consciencely called it "Math"
like:
E = MC^2 was part of the Universal structure/disorder before Einstein flashed upon the equation while pondering dust particles in the window light.
It had been there all along.
Now Einstein could translate that small phenomena to paper using numbers and symbols
The thread is a poll asking whether created or discovered?
my philosophical response was discovered.
It took brilliance and hard work absolutely to bring Math to the level and understanding it is today.
That was/is definitely created.
