There was symbolic logic, which is math, sure. I'm still not 100% sure I followed it, and definitely can't give it. The book is "Minimalism: A Bridge between Classical Philosophy and the Bahá'í Revelation" by William S. Hatcher if you want to check it out. It's a really cool read, whether the God proof holds up or not.
I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A question just popped into my head: Would the proof still be as valid if there were no human beings (or other intelligent life) anywhere in the universe? (Ignoring the fact that the proof was created by an intelligent human.)

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Talked to my mom tonight. The wuwu one. Who has a cold. I forgot to ask her why she had a cold. Besides, I should really wait until she feels better to taunt her, right?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I think boogers come from stress about car repairs, but I'll have to look it up.

No, she's got the fancy hybrid that she loves. It might be roofing issues though, she has those.

Mmm. I'm sure Hatcher would argue yes. I'm not, currently, outright thinking of any stipulations that require the existence of intelligence, though there could conceivably be an implicit one. I'm gonna read it again, and take notes, at some point.

roofing issues could bring boogers, but I'd think "hangnail" or "bunion" for some reason

(Sorry, but I'm feeling contrary tonight.)
But how, then, is this proof of use to theists? What if there is a God but He doesn't give a damn about human or other intelligent life? What if He is only interested in some pond scum on some planet a million light-years from Earth? What if all He cares about is arranging the stars into pretty patterns? (Which are cool, by the way.)

I'll check with her tomorrow, she's pretty buggered by the snot monster tonight.
