ñThe heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.î Psalm 19:1 NIV
ñWhat is the chief end of man? To glorify God and enjoy Him forever.î Westminster Confession
ñIf mathematics is the basis of creation, its nature is revelatory of God and its purpose is to glorify God; the Christian teacher must desecularize mathematics for his students. That is, he must polish away the patina of secularization with which mathematics has become encrusted so its true, God-reflecting nature shines through.î
Larry Zimmerman, ñMathematics: Is God Silent?î in The Biblical Educator, 2:3, 2 Cited in Mathematics: Is God Silent? by James Nickel
