Mathematics vs. Religion

1. The overall selection proves that math doesn't have much connection to religious aspects of science. The selection points out the main issues with math. Islamic values didn't have much say on the sciences of the world. In fact, they really didn't do much against mathematics as they never really detested or endorsed it.

2. Al-Ghazzali says that mathematics and religion should be separated because math involved concrete evidence and facts whereas religion is based off of faith. He mentions that math has things that cannot be argued against because there is nothing to fight against if the thing you're fighting are facts, while religion can be interpreted in many different ways; there is no right answer. Overall, neither of the two directly affect one another in a positive or negative way, so he believes that they should be kept separate.
