Comment Invent the Discovery (Score 1) 798

I imagine that anyone saying it's both is on the right track, but not in the way most people are thinking. You see in Nature, long before Man, long before our Imagination to Invent Math, there was nothing and then something. From that something became something else and thus a great pattern formed into a complex creature born out of energy from the Universe. Sounds diluted at the scientific basic level I know. Then came Man who knew nothing and then was cast out of Eden having taken the fruit to know good and evil. Now that sounds biblical basic I know. Man with his fresh cleaned slate discovered a great many things in the World and with those discoveries his Imagination grew to Invent and discover more things and so on and so forth this continued till todays question. So do we Discover Math or Invent it? Do other creatures use Geometry to figure the nuts are too many for the capacity for the old tree, No. Does a God need to know Math to the number of floods, No. So then Math is an Invented Tool Created by Man for Man to Aid Himself in Exploring and Discovery. So Math is Invented, but we are Discovering a great many things with it.
