Philosophy of ScienceAnswered

Did mathematics and physics exist before God created the world, and does God know them?

TL;DR

Robert Sungenis answers yes: God knows every intricacy of mathematics and physics, since Wisdom says He made the world by weight, measure and number, and the six days of creation themselves involve counting. He holds that human physics is still in its infancy, and that God's advanced physics is what keeps the Earth fixed while the sun and stars revolve around it.

A viewer asks whether mathematics as we know it was created by God or existed before He created this world, and likewise physics.

Answer

Yes, definitely. How many days did it take God to create the world? Six, one plus one plus one up to six, and he rested the seventh; there is math right there. God knows every intricacy of math, calculus and the levels above it, trigonometry and geometry, long before men invented it. Wisdom says God created the world by weight, measure, and number, and that takes math. Everything in the cosmos, the trees, the animals, involves math and physics, and God knows physics far more than men, who have been stumbling onto it for centuries and still have not reached the ultimate physics. Newton and Galileo were in the infancy of understanding it, and much of what we know today will be overturned, because everything is connected in ways we can hardly imagine, held together by advanced math. That is how the earth can remain fixed while the stars and sun revolve around it: by God's advanced physics, which men are only beginning to touch upon.
