intrusion of religion into Math classes
"Consider first a Baptist school in Texas whose description of a
geometry course begins:

Students will examine the nature of God as they progress in their
understanding of mathematics. Students will understand the absolute
consistency of mathematical principles and know that God was the
inventor of that consistency. They will see God's nature revealed in
the order and precision they review foundational concepts while being
able to demonstrate geometric thinking and spatial reasoning. The
study of the basics of geometry through making and testing conjectures
regarding mathematical and real-world patterns will allow the students
to understand the absolute consistency of God as seen in the geometric
principles he created."

I wonder if God is still adding digits to Pi

Whether you believe that depends on how pious you are.

I don't think Kurt ever finished those theorems.

I'd prefer if he'd said: "I wonder if God is still adding digits to the
constants of His Universe."
