→‎Examples: this is a bad example because it not only is irrelevant to math students, it also begs the question of why mathematical union measures marriage quality

Line 12: Line 12:

There is the set of unborn children who were [[abortion|aborted]], about which striking conclusions can be drawn. Given the large and diverse number of elements of this set, it would likely include many who could surpass existing athletic and intellectual achievements. Indeed, many of the world records and [[Nobel Prize]] achievements recognized today would have been outdone by members of this set.

Another striking example is the how traditional marriage provides a greater set than otherwise: the union of <math>A = \{a, b, c, d\}\,</math> and <math>B = \{a, b, c, e\}\,</math> is merely <math>\{a, b, c, d, e\}\,</math>, while the union of a man, <math>M = \{a, b, c, d\}\,</math> and a woman <math>W = \{e, f, g, h\}\,</math>, is <math>\{a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h\}\,</math>, which is a broader and more diverse set.

Define "A" as the set of all false assertions, and "B" as the set of all the Bible passages. Since there are no [[Counterexamples to the Bible]], the intersection between set A and set B is the [[empty set]]. On the other hand, if "C" is set of evolutionary assertions, then the intersection between set A and set C is not empty because it contains [[Counterexamples to Evolution]].
