===Arithmetic with Negative Numbers===
Negative numbers were not fully accepted by mathematicians until the 1800s, including how a negative number dominates the result in multiplication with a positive number, to yield a negative outcome.<ref>http://nrich.maths.org/5961</ref> Yet Jesus's parable of the sower and the seed, in Matthew 13:1-23, Mark 4:1-8, and Luke 8:4-8, explained the same effect nearly 2000 years earlier.
