If math is the language of the universe and the whole numbers start with one, does that mean that the universe started with one god, and thus, Monotheism? What's the logical fallacy here?

The Natural Numbers start with zero. Therefore atheism is the truth.

Math is the language of the mechanics of the universe, not the language of the universe itself.

Are you guys retarded? Whole numbers start from zero and natural from 1

The fallacy is that there's nothing whatsoever linking the first whole number and monotheism. It's actually embarrassing you even posit this.

the whole numbers (I assume you mean the integers) don’t “start” with anything. They are unbounded. Every ring is the principal ideal of its unit, but that’s just baked into the definition. There are plenty of categories with neither an initial nor terminal object and plenty of them where they coincide. Git gud.

It's interesting that you start from number systems and not from geometry like the ancient Greeks did.

no, it starts at 1. "0" is merely an informal description of absence. like when you have 14 of an object, you have "0" of what constitutes 15.

You don't even need algebraic geometry for that kek. Just basic linear algebra. It's 1/2|a x b|, where x is the cross product.

Don't be a reddit pseud. Areas of triangles are elementary school math. Acting smug about this is pathetic.

You can make that statement only by applying operations and interpretations to the natural numbers, and which you apply is a matter of convention only. You are using the later to understand the earlier. The Peano axioms are indifferent towards calling the initial element zero or one.

Triangles don't have curved edges. As an algebraic geometrist, you should know that. Those are called spherical triangles.

math is like gender a social construct so that's a kinda dumb premise op but that's why u posted a frog cuz this is an engagement farm anyways what if we use a nondecimal or nonbinary system to count like how about a base 1/3 system then one is actually .333 so if u start counting at one u got 1/3 of a god

You're confusing "beginning" in an ordinal sense with "beginning" in a temporal sense. You're also assuming a metaphysical correlation between language and reality.
