The difference between numbers and numerals is that numbers are abstract entities (non-physical) and numerals are their symbols or instantiations. This prose is in the shape of the Roman numeral II (2)

Picture Professor Bahnsen are at a blackboard, and he draw the numeral two on the blackboard. Professor Bahnsen then asks “Is that the number two?” One students says “Yes.” Professor Bahnsen then erases the numeral and asks the class “If that was the number two is gone forever the point being that numbers are not physic- al so how does an atheist account for coun -ting? how does an unbeliever (if being tru e to atheism) as a n aturalist with matter and motion being the wo rldview account for abst- ractions like number -s they must beg the qu estion which is enga -ging in circular reasonin g you can’t truly be an atheist you must borrow from the Chr istian worldview to make sense out of reason ethics and knowledge No -ne of these is physi- cal or either made of ma tter or in constant motion. So how can atheists use numbers they must rely on the Christian worldview. If you are going to be true to atheism you shouldn’t care about the result of any instance. Being bio-bags of chemicals, after all what one animal does to another is irrelevant

The Christian worldview has morals (not everchanging man made ones), bring reasoning (which the world tries to usurp), helps the world make sense.
