Education about LIFE? while we can!

1+1+1 = 1 is a true statement in Z/2I think a better analogy that is more fitting to the actual scenario would be that we know 1+1=2 but at the same time some people believe that 1 = magic pixie dust, 2 = healing crystals and 1 + 1 <= 2.The biggest difference between evolution and creationism is that creationism introduces fantasy into the equation. If you let in creationism, then you let in the alternative that drunken leprechauns circle jerked over the eternal sunwell.Your analogy makes it seem like creationism resembles, even in the most minor of ways, things that ARE based in reality.

Of course, biblical creationists are committed to belief in God's written Word, the Bible, which forbids bearing false witness; --AIG (lest they forget)

Well yea that is fine. The math of deities. That is where you get the fantasy element. 1 = father, 1 = son, 1 = holy spirit, 1+1+1=1 GodIt just wasn't explicit. It made it look more reasonable than it really is. Z is the positive integers. I should have really said Z%2. Z%2 is the group {0,1} which all positive integers modulo 2.So (1+1+1)%2 = (3)%2 = 1It is pretty much the first group you learn about in abstract algebra.
