Can you write an essay on the question below?
Give a critical analysis of the statement, “Mathematical inquiry is a gift to humankind from the mind of God.”
Carl Sagan wrote

It is as follows...
“No, do not you see: This would be different. This is not just starting the universe
out with some precise mathematical laws that determine physics and chemistry.
This is a message. Whoever makes the universe hides messages in transcendental
numbers so they’ll be read fifteen billion years later when intelligent life finally evolves. I criticized you and Rankin the time we first met for not understanding this. If God wanted us to know that He existed, why didn’t he send us an unambiguous message? I asked. Remember?”
“I remember very well. You think God is a mathematician.”
“Something like that. If what we’re told is true. If this is not a wild goose chase. If there’s a message hiding in pi and not one of the infinity of other transcendental numbers. That’s a lot of ifs.”
“You’re looking for Revelation in arithmetic. I know a better way.”
“Palmer, this is the only way. This is the only thing that would convince a skeptic.Imagine we find something. It doesn’t have to be tremendously complicated. Just something more orderly than could accumulate by chance that many digits into pi. That’s all we need. Then mathematicians all over the world can find exactly the same pattern or message or whatever it proves to be. Then there are no sectarian divisions. Everybody begins reading the same Scripture. No one could then argue that the key miracle in religion was some conjurer’s trick, or that later historians had falsified the record, or that it is just hysteria or delusion or a substitute parent for when we grow up. Everyone could be a believer.” .....Carl Sagan from The book-

conversation above is quoted from Carl Sagan, an astronomer not conversant with the Quran’s mathematical miracles.
Mathematics came from observation, mathematics is a pure science. Sitting here on earth and doing calculations without any instruments and estimating the correct shape and radius of earth,is not less than a miracle.
This all is coming from someone who wants to share the truth of every aspects. The one who is ready to recive is being a acceptor and transforming this into a valid information to be evaluated and utilized for man kind.
Also the great Ramanujan said once that it just its God who keeps sending him information about the maths.
Galileo the great said, "Mathematics is the language in which God wrote the universe ".
Its all about to believe and not to believe. All your work begins in the direction of what you think. And the thinking is always accelerated by deep understanding. If man is unable to understand he gets irritated and stops thinking. So the key is intense and correct understanding.
The thing is it all comes from a question or a need.
It is the same thing that is as finding the answer to where does man soul located in his body ? Or you can believe in science for the answer that its only memory not soul and the memory is stored in brain part.....
Maths is not the part of analysis and proving
Analysis and proving isn't the part of maths.
GOD protects its children form all bad things and then he might also protecting the way he should communicate with humans .he might be coding this in the language of maths to tell this pure unknown things to the most knowledgeable and to decode it perfectly to the perfect timing?
Isn't the right things coming under right timing give a incredible flavour to the dish to be prepared.
Even while proving the maths proofswe need to take assumptions for say assuming 'x' to prove something.
There also we assume something to prove that statement why can't we assume there is someone who is proving something and that end that something might be existence of God .
I mean let God prove Existence of himself in the code of maths and let us decode the code of maths for believing the creation of God by assuming God exist..
