The point. The line. The plane. The numeral 1. The numeral 2. The numeral 3. The numeral 4. The numeral 5. The numeral 6. The numeral 7. The numeral 8. The numeral 9.The numeral 0.
All of these are abstract concepts that are accepted on faith. That is, consensual definitions. Truly, they are effective. Truly, they achieve things. Truly, they do not exist in the entire cosmos except as the result of the human mind. They are abstractions. They posses no physical reality. They do not exist in the material universe. This is precisely the objection that so-called "secular humanists" have with religion.
They object that the fundamental premises of religion are faith based and they do not exist in the material world. Show me God, they say. Show me the spirit, they say.
Show me a 5.
No, not the symbol of a 5. No, not 5 things. These are indirect and are not 5 itself. Show me 5. You can not. It does not exist. Except for one instance: When people accept that it exists and begin their operations based upon that consensual agreement.
"Science" is faith based. It is a belief system. It is a religion. Technology Guru's are mere evangelists and preachers spreading their version of the gospel. Einstein was a "prophet".

They're delimited systems of description, subsets of human natural language, worked with consistently and in a continuously evolving manner across all human civilizations.

This is precisely "the most intellectually regressive statement of the week."

dayyum..., at best, as if there were anything worth recovering in todays soapbox of confusion, you've conflated "math" with "science" and "science" with "scientism".

What isn't?
You could be describing angels.
R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz very well was, and all of what he described was rooted in the inspired mathematical understanding of the ancients;
He is known for his role in outlining what is known as sacred Egyptian architecture. His elucidation of the temple at Luxor and his presentation of the Egyptian understanding of a special quality of innate consciousness form a bridge that attempts to link the sacred science of the Ancients to its what some people consider its rediscovery in our own time. In his chief work, The Temple of Man, he proposes, and argues in great detail, for an interpretation of the Egyptian outlook rooted in numerological and geometrical mysticism; in several of his other works, he makes a corresponding case for the metaphysical richness of various mathematical concepts. As with much ancient mathematics, Egyptian research became quite complex; what can be drawn from that complexity remains subject to debate.
So was the the islamic alchemist al-Shabti who was describing ultimate reality in terms knowable only by one versed in a deep and methodical contemplative realm.
Superstition is distinctly different from the inspired work of explorers in the deeper realms of human experience.

"13 Reasons why Science is a Religion"
1 Reason why Religion is a type of Science:
Intelligent design is the assertion that "certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection."It is a modern form of the traditional teleological argument for the existence of God, modified to avoid specifying the nature or identity of the designer. Its primary proponents, all of whom are associated with the Discovery Institute, believe the designer to be the God of Christianity. Advocates of intelligent design claim it is a scientific theory, and seek to fundamentally redefine science to accept supernatural explanations.

science is god.
god is science.
you go jasai...,
can't wait till you start posting to that blog you've initiated but not yet populated...,
do visit.
i just might drop a little science/god in that there space.
D.V. pulls out the B.S. Again.
Science is supported by fact.
Religion is supported by opinion.
Opinion is never fact.
Religion is always supported by opinion.
If it can not be measured or observed it is not real.
