Mathematics and the Theory of Babel
 
From acient times the theory holds that the world behaves in a mathematical
fashion, and only later was it understood that (x,y) could be represented in
a pure or refined form. The theories of Galeleo, Newton, and Einstein are
all true as we know them, but mathematics that gave raise to them are
inconsistant... Is science a religion?

The preceding question reflects an ignorance of what constitutes
science. Science is distinguished by its METHODS, rather than the
mathematics chosen by those practicing science. The SCIENTIFIC METHOD
is now taught at the junior high school level, and it appears that you
somehow missed those lessons.

Until the scientific method was developed (which is roughly to
experimentally observe; then postulate a theory; then make a
prediction using the theory, and then experimentally test the
prediction, ... and iterate) attempts at understanding nature were
often completely erroneous -- mathematics notwithstanding. Roger
Bacon and Galileo are usually credited with its development, although
others think that the scientific method may have first appeared in the
ancient Islamic world.

Religion and philosophy do not employ the scientific method; neither
does mathematics. Confusing the domain of each discipline is an
amateurish mistake. Not even a junior high school graduate should
make such a mistake these days.


A theory holds tha when observing an event the object remain undesturbed...

A religious devotion to any undertaking maybe all that is required to
proclaim a religion. Its the acceptance of the masses that gives a religion
basis.
