Because mathematicians are terrible at supernatural investigation. Not enough rules in the framework.

Well look at Godels Incompleteness Theorem... Not every statement in mathematics actually even has a proof inside mathematics. So math doesn't even have the tools to fully investigate itself.

That's an awesome point. The poor saps have to hand-waive around axioms within their own field. No way they're going to accept divine interventions and invisible dragons in some other line of work :)

Because supernatural is by definition super-natural.

If it was real and explainable by science, we won't call them supernatural

Because prime numbers exist and the soul doesn't.

You are correct in challenging the GP, but for the wrong reasons. Your statement reveals undue confidence in your assumptions on the nature of objective reality.

Perhaps they are related.

Hehe

you mean like like each prime makes up one of the unique universal souls that exist throughout time and space?

whoa

The universe is likely a simulation, so a soul maybe a prime primary key and so use a Mersenne prime to save space as a form of compression because only n needs to be stored, not the full bitstring. The real question is: does the universe have microcode opcodes to operate on Mersenne primes natively without expanding them?

PS: Atheist ;)

If the universe is a simulation, isn't the programmer effectively God?

And: "Likely"? Objection, your honor. Assumes facts not in evidence.

Good call. Well, if humans ever happen to create such a simulator themselves, will they effectively become God?

To the simulation, probably yes.

This can’t be a serious question but the reason is we know how to find primes.

When all you've got is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

In case anyone wants to know more about the “hammer” expression. I looked it up one day and found it to be interesting
