God is using Covid-19 to teach humanity about logarithmic maths and exponential growth
EAP: Southville South Australia. Father Decca Smith of the Southville St Mary's Anglican Church believes that God is revealing himself through the Covid-19 coronavirus and by so doing is teaching his flock all about logarithm and to show us how exponential growth works in concrete ways. He has seized the opportunity afforded by the public health emergency to teach both maths and God's love in the local parish school where he teaches.
He came to this conclusion after a parent asked him "What sort of a god would send coronavirus on to good people?" Puzzled and troubled by this question Father Decca prayed all day for answers. He told EAP that the answer came to him late in an evening.
He said, "With the blessing of the good lord I realised that the most important we can do for our children is education, but much of what children learn is disconnected from the real world. Maths is one such area in which it is hard for some children to grasp in a concrete way. It is true that the Lord loves children and desires the best for them including a grasp of maths. So it is logical that God would use an emergency to teach us all about mathematical concepts such as logarithms, inflection points and exponential growth and the like. So, because God loves us so, it is natural that he would use some of us to teach those who remain what exponential growth really looks like in concrete terms."
Father Decca has been using the latest WHO statistics to set logarithmic problems for his class. One problem he has set his class is to predict a likely date when the school will likely be closed because of sufficient penetration of Covid-19 in the general community. "There is simply no more concrete way to teach such concepts like a public health emergency", he told reporters. He continued, "Because God would use a virus to give us all a lesson in maths it is proof that God created the laws of maths just as surely as he created the virus. The existence of the virus is proof of God and proof of the love God has for us. The education of our children from this virus is the silver lining under the Covid-19 cloud".
Father Decca Smith has written to the bishop of his diocese to recommend amending the maths syllabus to take advantage of this magnificent gift from God to our children's education.
