Does math invent things or discover things? It depends on who you ask. Ask a math person and they might say that math invents things. I am not a math guy so I cannot give you any examples. But from my perspective as a born again Christian I think that math and science merely discovers what God set in order in creation.
"The earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein." Psalm 24:1
God created the known universe and everything in it out of nothing but His own wisdom. Every law of nature is God's idea. Every mathematical formula began in God's wisdom. The stars are light years away from us and yet God calls each one by name. Christ is God on a relatable scale. God became a man and dwelt among us. Christ is Immanuel, God with us. But God is the source and fountainhead of all wisdom and strength.
So it is the arrogance of intelligence that makes us think that we invented anything. You could spend a lifetime studying and only scratch the surface of God's wisdom.
God holds the universe in the palm of his hand. What can you hold in your hand?
"Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, measured heaven with a span and calculated the dust of the earth in a measure? Weighed the mountains in scales and the hills in a balance?" Isaiah 40:12
