I have never seen evidence of irrational numbers, therefore, irrational numbers do not exist.
Prove me wrong.
So called "proofs of the existence of irrational numbers" will be swiftly labeled as what they are, proofs of complicated artifacts arising naturally from the existence of certain relations and processes within the standard rational number system. They are COMPLETELY EXPECTED and DO NOT CONFLICT AT ALL WITH OBSERVATION. GB2 Aljabr.

OP here, I like the direction this thread is going.
This board has been douching itself up for a long while. I can't remember more than a handful of somewhat interesting posts in the past year. Meanwhile there's been plentiful .999~ bickering and God discussion by people who don't understand basic logic or mathematics.

The theists try to claim that a _real_ god exists. Mathematicians never claim the existnace of numbers or any other construct in the _real_ world. They only claim that it exists on paper/their imagination. With these imaginary constructs, we can do stuff.

Look at the fucking area and circumference of a circle and there's a relation between the dimensions of the circle and pi, you fuckwit.

That's only true in a flat world, which we are assuming. Can you actually prove that we live in 3d flat space (even if you do measurements, remember that there are limitations to how accurate the measurements are)? If we use mathematics to construct a circle, and find its area/circumference, then we are dealing with an invented construct (which we assume to be a good model of reality).
