Theory of Everything - View Single Post - Why do people think we can apply math to things that are purely metaphysical?

Most western and some eastern thought percieves God to be one, many, divided into parts, everything, or in everything. But how then do we make the assumption that something that would seem to be purely metaphysical can have human concepts like numbers applied to it. If the universe or multiverse was "created" and the reality we percieve truly exists, then to me because of its low entropy (which I understand is incredibly improbable statistically) it would seem that something that would be capable of "creating" something as flabbergasting as the cosmos then surely to me it would be like a single celled organism trying to understand humans.
