We see that intelligence creates purpose therefore if we see purpose in things we didn't create, an intelligence (God) must have created it.

Premise 1) Evidence for design within mathematics would point to a teleological source of mathematics.

Premise 2) There is evidence for design within mathematics.

Therefore, there is a teleological source of mathematics.


Premise 1 is pretty obvious since actual design always requires a teleological source.


Premise 2 is true because there are many examples of evidence for design within mathematics …

1) Euler`s formula.

2) The Mandelbrot set.

3) The mathematical relationship between Fibonacci numbers and nature.

4) The mathematical relationships between man and his relationship to the natural world (for example,the mass of the earth is midway between the mass of the observable universe and the mass of the atom).

5) The fact that mathematics can actually describe the universe in a coherent way with simple mathematical equations.
