The Bible was the inspiration for set theory and other accomplishments in math. Many of the great mathematicians, such as Bernard Riemann and Kurt Godel, were avid readers of the Bible.
Potential remains for additional mathematical discoveries based on insights gleaned from the Bible.
Infinity
The word "infinite" is mentioned three times in the text of the King James Version (Job 22:5; Ps 147:5; Nah 3:9), and once in an explanatory footnote (Nah 2:9).[1]
In addition, several teachings of Jesus allude to the infinite nature of God.
Foundations of Math
Several references exist in the Bible for the concept that mathematics, as a coherent field, is made possible by God:
- Hebrews 13:8
- Corinthians 1:17
