Well, i am finally getting around to doing my post. i'm probably the last one, but what else is new. The first question i decided to do was an example of math as a science, an art form, a language, and a tool. Science is pretty easy.....math is involved in all areas of science, including chemistry, biology, etc. i don't think you would be able to do science without math...they really go hand in hand. Shockingly to me anyway, math is also an art form. There is beauty in order and math is definitely order. Those pictures that Dr. Priest showed us of all the different designs that people have developed were really neat. Art in itself also should have some sort of symmetry- i would think anyway, i'm not an art major. so after really thinking about it, math is also an art form. ummmm math as a language. a lot of the articles we have been reading for class talk about this one. math is a universal language that everyone can understand, at least to some extent. so that is not much of a stretch either. math is obviously a tool. without math, it would be difficult to be able to get through the day....especially if it grocery shopping day!! people use math skills as tools in every day life all the time, probably more often than they realize. math is also used in professional fields all the time too, such as medicine. so math is SALT.

Another question that i thought sounded interesting was Dr. Priest's thought of saying that people discovered math as opposed to inventing it. This statement implies many things. He is saying that it was already there, so it could not be invented. If math concepts already exist, then the order of the universe is already there, just waiting to be discovered. this order that does not need to be invented by humans, to me at least, implies the existence of an orderly God. so, considering all these implications, saying that math is discovered is a pretty huge statement.

The last question i wanted to do was leadership verses following the polls. Is it the same? of course not!!!!!!!! as a leader, it is wise to look at the polls, but i do not think that should be the deciding factor in a decision. polls are not reliable enough to be depended upon that heavily. and, even if they were, they should still not be the deciding factor in an important decision. from a Christian standpoint, morals and what God says to address the issue is much more important than what man has to say.

I feel like i've kindof just said the obvious in this post, so i hope that is okay! see everybody tomorrow!
