Is geometry divine?

The reason people used to talk like this was to get people to care about something that's useful to their survival. In the absence of precision, something that's important gets exaggerated through mythology so that people can recognize it as important. That's all religion is.

Although, there's a distinct possibility that a tradition can continue long after its usefulness. In the case of math, most people recognize its importance, so there's no need for this. Then again, a lot of people don't recognize its importance, so maybe this old fashioned approach would be appropriate.

Survival is not important. We are made to excess something greater than us.

No, but divinity is geometric.

nope were still biological animals programmed to survive, breed, and insure our kin survive too. Just because we have obscenely huge brains that we use for social communication and collaboration does not make us any more special than cheetah, or a crocodile or any other organism. We rely on our natural environment just as much, if not more than wild animals
