Prove to me that 2+2 does not = 4

Unless you happen to be Bertrand Russel. But really, you don't want to read the literal volumes of material he's written on the subject.

Although he did at least finally agree with you, I guess. Now Godel.... haha, totally different matter.

Math is generally referred to as an "Objective Truth" in science.
Objective meaning.."absolute" in its existence or beginning.
By faith alone..numbers used to determine the results of simple equations are assumed to be 100 percent constant. "Constant" meaning..they represent "absolute" values...and are not subject to change.

There are some, however, who believe that everything in life is made up of "Relative Truths." Relative meaning..everything is subject to change, and truth is dependant upon an individual's circumstances/views.

Those of you who believe in "Relative Truths." Please provide for me an explanation..as to how the mathmetical equation.

2 + 2 = 4

Is a relative truth.

**You may not make any "absolute" arguments to prove this relative truth, doing such.. would be contradictory to your position.

I think I got this one. Two couples get together for group sex. As a result, both couples get pregnant. However, they each only give birth to one child, resulting in two children. 2 + 2 = 2
