Matter, Divinity, and Number

Loyola College in Maryland

Conceptualizations of the Divine Mind as being profoundly mathematical have appeared in many cultures over thousands of years and have given rise to various forms of number mysticism. The deeply mathematical structure of physics, which has become ever more predominant as the field progresses, suggests that such conceptualizations are consistent with those attributes of the Divine that can be inferred from empirical knowledge of the world. This way of thinking, although clearly limited and partial, has considerable value in the discourse between science and religion.
