Beauty in Numbers
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my
thoughts than your thoughts (Isaiah 55:9, King James Version).
Gods thoughts are higher than ours (Is. 55:9) and that can be
shown throughout the math concepts Burger & Starbird (2010)
present within the details explained in:

Geometry (p. 307)
Gods designs are detailed

Coincidences and Probability (p. 562)
Divinely ordered and calculated

Statistics and Research (p. 644)
Balance in truth

Similarities and Fractals (p. 174, 493)
Infinite beauty and depth

Geometry
The flower on the right has been created
to show different dimensions (Burger &
Starbird, 2010, p. 315).

At first glance one would see six designs.
What is not seen in this slide are the
designs that brought this flower to this
point of design. It is only half done and
there is already much detail put into it.

In the same way God uses detail to build
upon all of His creations.

One can find an example of this in 1 Kings
6, as God gives Solomon detailed
instructions on how to build a temple for
Him.
Coincidences and Probability
Burger & Starbird (2010) state that, Many, if not
most, significant events in our lives arise from
coincidence, randomness, and uncertainty (p.563).
The green added onto the flower was not done by
coincidence, instead it was done purposefully, to
add to its beauty. Mathematically, one can also use
probability (p. 617-619) to choose between lots of
colors.
Figuring out those numbers may/may not be
possible. The depths of those numbers can be
beyond our comprehension in some cases.
Can one guess the next color to be used? Why not
give it a try

Was the guess the color black?

One may not be able to figure that out as easy/fast
as we would like, but God knows all the details of
His creation, and knows them exactly (Matthew
10:30). It is all divinely ordered and calculated.

Statistics and Research
If asked how many people chose black,
more than likely, someone would lie. After
all, some people find it embarrassing to
guess wrong.
Burger & Starbird (2010) state that, One
of the easiest ways survey data can be
misleading and inaccurate is if those
surveyed simply lied (p. 650). Although
most lie, through research and studying,
one can get a more honest result. Not
only does one need credible sources
when making a statement/decision
academically, one needs it whenever a lie
may be presented instead of truth.
2 Timothy 2:15 states, Study to shew
thyself approved unto God, a workman
that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly
dividing the word of truth (King James
Version).
Similarities and Fractals
Similarities can have Endless Infinities (p. 175), like
this flower.
This flower was also created using oval shaped fractals
(p. 505). They changed in color, size, and density;
creating this specially crafted flower. From lessons
learned in this class, one can see a connection in math
and Bible. For instance, God uses special care in His
creation (as mentioned before), and keeping in mind the
infinites found, one could only imagine to what extent.
Knowing that God puts special care into His design, one
could definitely agree (in all aspects of life, knowing this
can be applied in everything) with the following:

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good
to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his
purpose (King James Version).

Detailed all together for one beautiful purpose, creating
something He finds beautiful, just like this flower was
created! Working all together for good.
