Nature abhors the number 2
Whenever you put 2 of any animal (male & female) together look how quickly they decide to make more of their kind.
This is the reason why sex is so important in the world, Nature cannot stand to see 2 of anything

2 is the lonely-ist number, the lonely-ist number since the number 1.


How the hell do you spell lonely-ist? :huh:

Numberologists only report information that confirms their preconceived notions about so-called "number theory." I suspect that they throw out information that would disprove their "theory."

You need to read creationist sources in order to get the real truth about numbers. For instance, look at AIG's explanation of pi and the Bible:
http://www.answersingenesis.org/creation/v17/i2/pi.asp

As you can see, I've now clearly demolished all the numberologists arguments, and am ready to move on to discussing pi. But since no-one has responded to me about it yet, you clearly don't have any evidence that stands up to scrutiny. Ridiculous!

The value of a pie is obviously 2

It consists of just 2 ingredients 1)the crust and 2)the filling .

Now, I'm not suggesting you're lying, but you've Occidentally confused Biblical pi with Culinarian pie. The creationist view of linguistics shows that the sound /p/ followed by the sound /i/ requires an Oriental perspective to understand.

This of course begs the question as to what is the value of a pasty,they could be defined as triangular so are they valued at 3 ?

But there is a new theory that shows that both systems are consitent. If you accept the common sense meaning of pi, you see that it is equal to 3, because you actually need 1) crust, 2) filling and a little 3) lovin' from the oven.

SUMMARY OF THE DEBATE SO FAR

I offered evidence from AIG, and asserted that I'm right. No one else wants to address these issues - they're trying to change the subject to "values of other pastries" while ignoring that all values come from God. Without God, why would it be wrong to wrap a sausage in a chocolate chip pancake and put it on a stick? Numberologists have no reason to not call that a breakfast food, just like any other pastry, because they have no objective source for their values.

As anyone can see, my view is the only one that is consistent with the evidence. Numbers are assigned whatever value God wants.

And how do you explain the existence of transfinite numbers?
