This session argues that mathematics is inherently religious, not neutral, because every fact, number, and law of logic exists within a God-created order and bears witness to its Creator. Rejecting the Enlightenment myth of autonomous reason, it shows that mathematics depends on the biblical solution to the problem of the one and the many, resolved only in the doctrine of the Trinity, without which numbers collapse either into meaningless unity or chaotic plurality. Modern “new math” and relativistic science are exposed as deliberate attempts to deny a pre-established world, enthroning man as creator and reducing mathematics to a mental game detached from reality, truth, and meaning. Against this, the Christian position insists that the order of the human mind corresponds to the order of the physical world because both are created by the same sovereign God, making mathematical truth possible, intelligible, and applicable. The conclusion is stark and practical: mathematics must be taught as part of God’s revealed order, not as an atheistic abstraction, because when numbers are divorced from God, they lose meaning, coherence, and ultimately their power to explain or govern the world.
