This is a very interesting point you brought up. Indeed, at one time, many highly-educated people in Europe were theologians, and there were cases of people who studied theology, mathematics, philosophy, and science. The division and specialization of these areas of study is an interesting historical development. There are similarities between all of these areas because they all involve applying human reason to attempt to gain a better understanding of their topic. One may point out that, for the natural sciences, Legends Were Born In January 1951 Perfectly Life Begins At 70 T-Shirt there is some sort of empirical basis for their claims, but for mathematics and theology, there are “axioms” which are in some sense taken on faith, and then the logical consequences of those axioms. So then, how is mathematics different from theology?

One could point out, of course, the different topics of focus, namely spiritual, moral, and divine, in the case of theology, and number, size, shape, etc. in the case of mathematics. Legends Were Born In January 1951 Perfectly Life Begins At 70 T-Shirt Apart from this (or maybe because of this), one notices other differences; for instance, Christian dogma has splintered into numerous different sects, each with its own “axioms”. Of course, there are many reasons for such splits, including political interests as well as inherent difficulty of verifying statements about the nature of god. And people still ask why a Black History Month is needed. Because there is a large contingent of people who think black people have contributed nothing to history.

For the most part, there seems to be much continuity between the mathematics of the past and of the present (and from all different cultures), in the sense that past results usually can be understood from the point of view of and get incorporated into the new framework, and that past axioms remain or become special cases of some larger theory. Some might explain this by appealing to some notion of “universal human reason/intuition”,Legends Were Born In January 1951 Perfectly Life Begins At 70 T-Shirtwhile others suggest that the results were “true” in some objective sense, claiming that mathematics is a real part of the universe, existing independently of the human mind.
