   The square roots of 8 exists in various forms.   
   Take 2 times the square root of 2, for example.   
   One might take a minus two as a root too, prehaps.   
      
   A quest-   
   ion may form in terms of weather   
   and whether minus numbers actually exist or   
   arghh like maps which mathematicians like naturally.

   It's possible gods do not exist   
   other than in the minds of those   
   for whom a god or gods do exist.   
      
   > For all we know.   
      
   Mathematics and sciences can be counted on, and are   
   counted on given various points, such as for example,   
   number lines and experimentally being able to repeat   
   phenomena and subsequently theorize to explain them.   
      
   >Wouldn't that be like you counting how many cells comprise your liver?   
      
   The cells in my liver are finite at a given time as are   
   the number of hairs on my head which exist and may   
   be said to be known by the Universal Being (UB).   
      
   That, UB, metaphysically speaking seeing   
   as how it's a category word, knows without knowing   
   intellectually. Similar to how water knows how to seek   
   and find its own level given a plane it's plain to see.   
      
   If, by definition, a god known as God is said to exist   
   and is known by the book known as The Book seeing   
   as how it says so, dogmatically, that's a form of being.   
      
   - of epistemology ... Cheers!
