Welcome
Congratulations! You found our class blog! You might want to bookmark this page or add it to your favorites. This is where we as a team will hopefully create a resource to help us conquer any issues that arise during our class this year. This is the place to talk about what’s happening in class; to ask a question you didn’t get to ask in class; to share your knowledge with fellow classmates and any other Internet users who choose to read our notes;…and most importantly it’s a place to reflect on what we’re learning.
A large part of retaining knowledge requires reviewing and discussing new information on a regular basis. This blog is intended to help each of you do just that. Between creating your own posts and commenting on your classmates’ posts, you will have the opportunity to explore each of the topics we cover this year in greater depth. I hope you will use this forum to help yourself and your classmates in whatever ways you can think of.
Blogging Prompt
Occasionally I will include a posting of my own, either to clarify a concept or to generate some further discussion. These postings will have a title similar to the one above this paragraph.
To get things rolling, here’s a question for you to think about and respond: Is God a mathematician? Why or why not?
Don’t forget to email me with the information I requested in class so I can include you on the team!

I think God can be thought of as a mathematician because there are endless patterns in the world that are too perfect to have been planned by humans. Formulas have been made to explain the way things exist or occur, but the fact that these things do occur can be proof that they were made to be as they are.
God couldn't be a mathmatician because of one fact: life isn't logical. Life is random and impossible to make sense of. Any mathmatician would keep things logical and everything would follow a pattern.
Well... I think God isn't a mathematician, mainly because he created mathematics. Benjamin Franklin discovered electricity, or the fact that it existed, at least, but no one calls him an electrician. OK, bad example, but you get the picture.
God can be thought of a mathematicion because there are patterns all over the place. For example, a bacteria doubles every hour, and cells also divide by 2 when they grow. Also, these cells are often in mathematical patterns.
I think god would have to be a mathematician, because in this world there is such a wide range of shapes, and slopes, and angles. In order to truly make the perfect world one would have to plan out every detail, and that includes the measurement of terrain. Which is not always flat.

In my opinion, God is not a mathematician, but created all things in relationship and relativity. I believe that he created humans in such a way that they would have curiosity in order to figure out these relationships and explain phenomenons in ways that would make sense to them. If God had to figure out all of these numerous formulas and complex patterns along with every other aspect of the world, i think it would have taken much longer than seven days to create the earth. (haha- i had to add that in)
