Matheology § 219

Applied Math is an indispensable part of various engineering
disciplines because its application and usefulness in predictive
models has been validated against real-world conditions again and
again and again.
If, for argument?s sake, PA was proven inconsistent, then math
merely becomes a defacto natural science like biology or chemistry, in
the sense that the ?validity? of math no longer stems from axioms, but
rather validation against real world conditions and observations.
