So when I drop my pen on the floor, this is the reason I find it in some retarded place like in another room?

but the odds are so slim its practically insignificant, still possible, but not mind-boggling

Yeah, all the particles get scared of your teacher and really want to be in the room opposite.

And as far as your take on theories being a waste of time... maybe you should look up the actual definition of a theory. You can't start with reality and deduce from there because you don't know how reality works.. and if you do it's most likely due to a theory. Are you still in high school or something?

Wow. Nature most definitely communicates through math....? Obviously we don't have talking trees chatting about differential equations, but every single action in this universe has a mathematical structure to it. The reason life takes the form it does is due to math. The reason why we understand what we do now is all due to math. How do you not realize this?

Actually, when we discover new things, it poses new questions, never before asked. It is the answer to these questions we are trying to find out. We use a Theory to try and explain certain things, and as we find out more and more, these theories are modified until we find enough solid evidence that the Theory can be proved a fact.

"Math and it's formulas are the language of reality..."
As for this claim, how idiodic, as if nature uses math equations to communicate.

"Well, probably because we use theories to help us explain reality."
Yes, we try but the problem in "science" is that we are starting with a quack idea then seaching out evidence(math) to help substantiate the claims to help form a theory. This is why many modern theories are proven wrong simply by observing nature, Einstein would be ashamed of such theories, even he was opposed to quantum quackery. They way science is supposed to work is start with reality and deduce from there.
