In summary, the conversation discusses the idea of using irrational numbers, such as Pi, to prove the existence of God. The original poster asks for references or websites to learn more about this topic and invites others to share their opinions. Some members argue that irrational numbers can be expressed as rational numbers, but others disagree and provide proofs to support their claims. The conversation also touches on the subject of whether this discussion belongs in the Philosophy category.

References for god in numbers

I have been hearing a lot of talk around my campus at UTA about irrational numbers proving the rationality if you will about God. PI, Phi, episilon etc.

Anyone know any references or sites that I can check out to learn more.

Would love to hear everyone elses opinion to.

BTW: This post was originally a mistake so I edited it with a valid question that I was going to ask.

BTW2: This probably belongs in Philosophy

IMO any irrational number, such as Pi, is but abstractly derived and can be expressed as a rational number...but there has been some argument over that.

As you wish! *whoosh*

BTW, you might want to edit the title to be something more descriptive.

"Rational" and "Irrational" are mutually exclusive. What you are claiming is that "X AND ~X" is true, and it is not.

...but there has been some argument over that.

Not in any journal I have heard of.

There are explicit proofs posted online to show that pi can NOT be expressed as a rational number. Google pi irrational. And in MY humble opinion, everyone who wants to talk about this subject should first memorize the classic proof that [tex] \sqrt {2} [/tex] cannot be equal to a rational number p/q in lowest terms.
