Al-G on Math and Religion

Question 1: The description of math and smallpox tell us that Islamic values do not depend on math or science to prove religion.  But it is used to prove things rather than replace beliefs.  Math and science do not need to prove religion but they can be used to prove other objects and ideas.

Question 2: Al-Ghazzali thinks that religion and math do not need to be separated until man steps away from religion because he thinks math disproves it.  He says that math does not prove anything against religion and it does not prove anything for religion.  But he does say that math creates two problems.  These two problems are man stepping away from religion because he think it is disproved by math.  Or when man thinks that it is illogical because other men think that it is illogical.
