While I agree with the substance here, I'm not sure about the tone. I wonder if mathematics is so fundamental as to be "perfect" or absolute. I wonder if mathematics is not as much a tool as an extension of our observations. Hume wrote about how many "absolutes" are inductions (like the sun rising every day). I wonder if mathematics is an induction, and we just haven't dug deep enough to fully realize or accept that. Another commenter here, Richard Aberdeen, seems to say something similar, when he talks about numbers like pi that have "no rational conclusion" (although the "intelligent designer" part doesn't work well for me).
