Theomathy  

Everyone has heard of 'Theology'. Some even study that subject in Graduate Schools of Theology.

But how many people know about Theomathy?

Euclid, the Greek mathematician who is most responsible for Plane Geometry, said, "The Laws of Nature are but the mathematical thoughts of God." 

Einstein said, "I want to know God's thoughts."

And then (among other things), he wrote down E = mc².

Just as 'Theology' means "the Word of God," we can define 'Theomathy' as 'the Math of God'.

What's missing in traditional Theology is Theomathy.

Here is a more astonishing example:

In 1831, Michael Faraday discovered the missing link in the connection between electricity and magnetism. He discovered that a magnet in motion can induce an electric current in a coil of wire. But it took a brilliant mathematician like James Clerk Maxwell, to work out the mathematical details of the quantitative relationship between electricity and magnetism.
