Mathematics and Creation
by
Don DeYoung PhD
Seattle Creation Conference
October 2016
Cedar Park Church, Bothell
WA
Description:
Math is the underlying language of creation. Intricate patterns, symmetries and design exist throughout nature, all showing the fingerprint of the Creator. Examples include Fibonacci numbers, the fine structure constant, spiral structures and Mobius patterns. Complex mathematical structures which are embedded in nature continue to be discovered. Mathematics can be applied to several creationist topics including life in space, the uniqueness of snowflakes, biomimicry and the testimonies of math pioneers.
