Paul, I have tried to explain it to you. You are not interested in understanding, because you think you already know it, despite the fact that you have never taken a class in it.

From your perspective, it could be that I have not gotten a master's in engineering math, that I have not taught and tutored math, that I have not read many books on math both in and outside the class, that I have not solved numerous problems in various mathematical disciplines, that I do not use math nearly every day of my life.

But you gotta know that *YOU* have not.

You're just going through the motions. What creationists are to science, you are to mathematics. I won't waste on more second discussing this with you.

Take a class in algebra 1.
