Harvey Friedman had presented several formulations of theories using some concepts in theology relative to which ZFC is provable to be consistent! So some kind of mentioning of the supernatural (or what is mutually interpretable with it!) is needed to prove ZFC's consistency.
See: http://www.cs.nyu.edu/pipermail/fom/2013-January/016881.html
Doesn't that say that mathematics following ZFC is only grounded in Mythology driven principles!
Doesn't that mean that ZFC based mathematics is too imaginary that even if consistent still it is based and rooted in fantasy that cannot really meet reality!
Why should one follow such a system so grounded?
With the scientific triumph it looks that mathematics is ought to be revolutionized to parallel science instead of absolutist tendencies of the old era of Religion and mythology as it seems to be currently rooted in?!
