What Diderot left because he understood what Euler meant, which is that that equation is true, it is absolutely true and is eternal because it, and other equations like it, exist in the abstract, conceptual realm. Thus Euler had proven that absolute eternal truth exists thus proving the existence of God because God is absolute eternal Truth. . What does it mean to say that the equation is eternally true because mathematics exists in the abstract? For example, we can think of a unicorn, i.e. a horse with a horn located in its forehead. To make it relate to the real world we can draw it, write the word unicorn, make stuffed toys that look like unicorns and yet the unicorn does not exist in the real world. Because it exists in the abstract we know it exists because we can think about it but we cannot touch it in the real world. We can think about the above equation, we can write it but we cannot find it anywhere in the real world we cannot hold or touch it. However its existence is not based on our ability to think about it, it exists in the abstract whether we can think about it or not. To make it relate to the real world we must substitute real numbers for the variables; a, b and n and solve for x to obtain a real number, which relates to the real world. Because this equations exists in the abstract, eternal and unchanged, it exists for eternity thus proving that absolute eternal truth exists, which proves that God exists.
