Gods as Topological Invariants

TL;DR

This paper establishes a mathematical link between the number of gods in a universe and the Euler characteristic of its manifold, connecting theology with topological physics and suggesting theism as a testable hypothesis.

Contribution

It introduces a novel theorem relating theological concepts to topological invariants, bridging cosmology and philosophy in a rigorous mathematical framework.

Findings

Recent astronomical data do not reject theism.

The number of gods equals the Euler characteristic of the universe.

Data slightly favor atheism over theism.

Abstract

We show that the number of gods in a universe must equal the Euler characteristics of its underlying manifold. By incorporating the classical cosmological argument for creation, this result builds a bridge between theology and physics and makes theism a testable hypothesis. Theological implications are profound since the theorem gives us new insights in the topological structure of heavens and hells. Recent astronomical observations can not reject theism, but data are slightly in favor of atheism.
