SearchMe, re:Math ,as a whole, is exact. Now we know you're clueless - you just "flunked" * Note: The word flunked was lifted without permission from one of SearchMe's more meaningless replies.

Math ,as a whole, is exact. Then you ought to be able to tell me the exact value of pi, e, sqrt(2, 3, 5), pick a transcendental number and then give me its exact value. Just what exactly is a line, a plane, or a point? Your answers will all be based on faith. Math is exact, kinda, but it also is loaded with faith and paradoxes. This is due to the fact that math is made weak by innate and insurmountable human ignorance in nature. What we desperately need is a new basis for logic, one that stands separate from the human mind. Reliance upon science in this realm is just so much high-minded stupidity in my most humble opinion.
