>>but creating a new system doesn't affect the old one in the slightest.
>The idea of "new doesn't affect old" is an idea based on logical and temporal consistency. God is not bound to those.
I'm not a theologist, but I don't think god recreating the world such that 3 is not prime would affect the discussion if 3 is prime right now.
In fact, I don't think god is even capable of making 3 not prime. Prime numbers are defined such that 3 is prime, it's not possible and a logical contradiction to make 3 composite without changing the definition. And the discussion is about the current definition.
>In fact the current system of odd/even - as well as any other system and law, including the "excluded middle" - can be understood to be God's arbitrary creation
But it's a human creation, god didn't invent parity or formal logic.
