3 + 3 = 6 is Proof of God’s Existence?

There’s a great moment near the beginning where Hovind tells us how incredibly far mathematics has come, before giving examples that go no further than things you’d hear in high school: “You think about how far math has come, we’ve got binomial theorems, bounded functions, dilation of graphs, square roots, pi…” It’s as if math has never gone beyond that in his mind. But it’s not surprising given that his knowledge of biology barely goes beyond a high school level, either, and yet he claims with confidence that expert scientists are lying to themselves about evolution.

You left out "According to a Creationist Video". rug Jan 2016 #1
Yeah, because "According to a Catholic video" is so much more credible! cleanhippie Jan 2016 #5
If you think the Creation Museum is as credible as the Vatican Observatory, I can't help you. rug Jan 2016 #6

Catholicism is a creationist religion, I don't think it's a young earth creationist stance, but it still is what it is.

God created everything. Duh.
You see he's like an energy field. It surrounds us, it penatrates us. It binds the universe together... no wait. That's the force. Yeah, I don't see the proof either.

...once they start giving answers and start talking about the Midachlorians they'll lose all credibility and a ton of their cultists.

3+3=5 would, however, be a very useful Lemma towards that goal, and a Lemma from which God's existence would follow quite easily as an immediate Corollally, along with many other useful results.
