    Graham's Number

    Discuss. I don't know where the best place to put a math thread is, so I put it in the science area. From a theistic perspective, God fully comprehends this number, correct?
    If it weren't for the Resurrection of Jesus, we'd all be in DEEP TROUBLE!

    While I do not grasp the significance of Graham's Number. It is safe to say God fully comprehends this number. God being omniscient.
    . . . the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; . . . -- Romans 1:16 KJV

    . . . that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: . . . -- 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 KJV

    Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: . . . -- 1 John 5:1 KJV

      I take your Graham's number and raise you Graham's number plus 1. Sparko's Number.

        It's a finite number. It's just a ludicrously large finite number.

          Sparko's number is bigger (see above)

              Actually, the definition of "Sparko's Number" is whatever number you come up with plus one. So it is always the largest number in any universe.

                  3? your number is 3?

                  I just came up with the Sparkoplex number. It is Sparko's number plus... wait for it....

                          Mathematics is abstract at its foundation. The "real" world is finite (at least the world of human experience.) Numbers greater than say 10^90 have no practical meaning.

                          Your question boils down to "Is God sovereign in the abstract world of axioms?"

                          Basic philosophy of maths is interesting here. Platonists say that new results already exist and need just to be discovered. In that case, an omniscient God would already know the result.

                            And all this time I thought it was 42.
